Core Business Vocabulary

The Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) specifies the structure of vocabularies and specific values for the vocabulary elements to be utilized in conjunction with GS1 EPCIS for data sharing both within and across enterprises. Designed to ensure a common understanding of data semantics, the use of the CBV is critical to the interoperability of EPCIS implementations.
