  2. Objectives • To advise the ITDS Board of Directors on a method to obtain more precise product characterization for imported and exported goods • To support the efficient and effective review, release, and statistical analysis of products entering and leaving the US

  3. Principles • Meet Participating Government Agency (PGA) product information needs by leveraging existing or emerging commercial supply chain capabilities • Best solutions will be compatible with existing or planned international solutions or those likely to be supported by the World Customs Organization and/or the United Nations.

  4. Participants • Members are interested PGAs • Trade associations and supply chain companies will be invited to share commercial perspectives

  5. Terminology Critical to effective communication: • Product Identification (e.g., GTIN, SKU) • Product characterization (e.g., minimally processed beef without additions) • Product description (e.g., package dimensions) • Dictionary (a collection of entries defining product’s distinguishing features) • Catalog (a collection of information about specific products)

  6. High Level Project Plan • PGAs define characterization needs for product sets • Committee reviews capabilities of dictionary and catalog providers • PGAs designate best characterization source(s) • Data interconnection and information flow designed between source(s) and ACE • Present recommendations to ITDS Board (Winter/Spring 2009)

Progress to Date -- Charter approved by ITDS Board - July 17 -- First regular meeting of PIC; reviewed and confirmed committee objectives - August 6 -- Reviewed terminology, project plan, and briefing on global dictionaries - September 3 -- Drafting Capabilities Profile for DMOs and Catalogs -- PGAs defining critical characterizations by product set using templates – Drafts due October 1

  8. Next Steps • Review of applicable ISO standards - September 24 • Interview Dictionary Maintenance Organizations (UNSPSC, GS1GPC, eCl@ss) - TBA • Interview Catalog providers (GS1 GDSN, GSX) • Evaluate capabilities of DMOs to meet PGA needs • Evaluate catalog sources and Interconnection functionality • Confirm feasibility of design • Document recommended solution to Board
