CR 07-050 - GDSN Modular Trade Item BMS Package including Technical Solution (TSD) - Second Public Review of TSD Based on Comment Resolution

The current design of the trade item data model creates limitations and constraints on the business usage of the item information communicated through the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) inhibiting its use by many users. In response to this challenge and the need to bring new industries into the GDSN, a more modular and flexible Trade Item model is required to better meet the business needs of sectors currently participating in the GDSN as well as sectors looking to participate in the future. The intention of this Business Message Standard (BMS) is to provide the message designs and process changes necessary to perform trade item synchronisation in the Global Data Synchronisation Network using a more flexible, context based trade item. This BMS Package includes the BSD outlining the Catalogue Item Synchronisation Process using a modular design. This package also contains the necessary schemas and xml example files for the Catalogue Item Synchronisation Process using a modular design. Please note that this is a 14 Days Public Review focusing on comments resolution of last Public Review which ended on January 12th. These changes are documented in the Change History of the Modular Item BMS Document under Version 0.08. Start Date is 4-March-2010 and End Date is 18-March-2010 COB.
