GS1 Digital Link Standard

This standard provides a way to represent GS1 identification keys consistently within web addresses and barcodes containing web addresses. This gives a single identification approach that can support both product identification for supply-chain applications, and a link to online material for consumer and business partner interactions. To achieve this, the GS1 Digital Link ecosystem is made up of several elements including web addresses, scanners, applications and web servers.
