GS1 GDSN (Global Data Synchronization Network) is the global B2B network for master-data sharing + synchronization between trading partners. GDSN ARCHITECTURE: (a) GS1 Source - GS1-certified data pools where data publishers + suppliers register + maintain product master data; (b) GS1 Sink - data pools where retailers + buyers access subscribed product data; (c) GDSN MESH - global certified network connecting data pools across MOs + countries; (d) GLOBAL REGISTRY - GS1 Global Registry coordinates global GTIN + GLN uniqueness + cross-pool routing. CERTIFIED DATA POOLS (~30+ globally): 1WorldSync + Atrify + ECC AG + GS1 Mexico + GS1 South Korea + GS1 China + Stibo Systems + Brandbank + Tellium + many more; each meets GS1 certification + interoperability standards. MASTER DATA COVERED: ~5,000+ attributes per GTIN organized in categories including identification + classification + dimensions + materials + nutritional + allergens + ingredients + claims + sustainability + packaging + handling + market + regulatory + supplier + manufacturer + brand + images + documents + serial + lot. SECTOR ATTRIBUTE GROUPS: GDSN sectoral attribute groups for grocery + healthcare + apparel + DIY + electronics + foodservice + other. PROCESS: publishers register/update master data in their data pool + GDSN propagates to subscribed sinks + subscribers receive Catalogue Item Notifications (CINs) + Catalogue Item Confirmations (CICs); ongoing data quality + validation + change tracking. GS1 EDI: traditional B2B EDI based on GS1 standards + GTIN + GLN identifiers; supports purchase orders + ASNs (Advance Shipping Notice) + invoices + acknowledgments + remittances + complaints + claims; EDI variants include GS1 EANCOM (Europe) + GS1 XML (modern) + GS1 WebForms (browser-based for SMEs); coordinates with X12/EDIFACT mainstream EDI standards. ADOPTION: ~30,000+ companies actively using GDSN; major retailers (Walmart + Costco + Tesco + Aldi + Carrefour + Lidl + Metro + Edeka + Mercadona + Loblaws + many others) mandate or strongly prefer GDSN for supplier master data.
This control maps to 22 controls across 12 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 22 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
