|---|---|---|---|
| Plain | GS1 ID standard without extra characters or syntactic properties. | 9524141234564789 A GRAI consisting of: – GS1 Company Prefix: 9524141 – Asset type: 23456 – Check digit: 4 – Serial component: 789 | Syntax for expressing GS1 ID standards (simple or compound) AIDC data in a format that can be intuitively used on the web (via a simple web query). |
| GS1 Element String | 2–4 character data element in the barcode. | (8003) 09524141234564789 – GS1 Application Identifier: 8003 (indicates that the following GS1 ID standard is GRAI) – GS1 Element String for GRAI contains the leading digit “0” immediately after the GS1 Application Identifier – The rest of the GS1 Element String is the same as Plain. | labelling and differentiation of data for various GS1 ID standards such as GLN, GTIN, GRAI etc. |
| GS1 Digital Link URI | Syntax for expressing GS1 ID standards (simple or compound) AIDC data in a format that can be used on the web in an intuitive way (via a simple web query). | GS1 Digital Link URI for domain id.gs1.org: https://id.gs1.org/8003/09524141234564 789 | information about products, assets, locations etc., through GS1 ID standards. |
| EPC URI | A syntax for GS1 ID standards that identifies a specific physical or digital object. Uniform Resource Name (URN) begins with urn:epc:id:… defined by GS1 EPC Tag Data Standard. | urn:epc:id:grai:9524141.23456.789 – “urn:epc:id:grai:” specifies that this EPC URI corresponds to a GRAI. – GS1 Company Prefix, asset type, and serial component are separated by a dot (“.”) – Check digit: is not included in this syntax. | ID standards such as GLN, GTIN, GRAI etc. |
