This will include the capture of relationship dependant data and attributes specifically required by Sainsbury’s that are not currently supported with in the GDS standards.

Timescales • Sainsbury’s attribute list may contain attributes than you don’t currently populate • To maintain momentum, publish items with attributes you currently have populated • First publication of existing attributes to their data pool should be by Monday 31th December 2010 • Remaining attributes should be populated by 28th January 2011
