Global Data Dictionary

The development of new e-business standards by GS1 has created a critical need to store, reuse and share precise core component and business definitions and their equivalent representations in targeted standards such as EDI, XML and AIDC.  The storage for this data is the GS1 Global Data Dictionary (GDD).  This repository is developed to fully support the GS1 Business Message Standards and GS1 XML Standard Schemas.

GDD Search A robust tool developed to search business terms and display associated documents, definitions, and datatypes.

GDD Reports Developed for an end user to view all of the information related to a business message. These are technical documents.

GDD Code Lists Used to view code list values and value definitions of GS1 code lists.

Extended Attributes These Extended Attributes are non-standard attributes used by retailers on their new item forms. These attributes supplement the GDD Fast Track New Item Form Attributes listed below. Future implementations may allow for these attributes to be passed in the GDSN in a standard format.
