SCHEMA algo for grocery.
GSC's grocery knowledge graph: six datasets on one record, read by the agents that do the buying.
Six datasets
SKUs
The item: its Global Trade Item Number (GTIN; EAN in European copy), its label and claims, its pack, its place on the shelf, its lane.
Chains
The retail banners: banner, parent group, channel, local format, market, cited points of sale, the buyer desk by department.
HITL
The auditor and documents lane: certificates, specifications, allergen statements, origin declarations — the paper behind a product, read by a person where a person is needed.
Economics
Price, availability, terms, promotion windows, order intents and settlement.
Makers
Makers, brand owners, private-label owners, distributors, importers and brokers — each resolved to a verified identity.
Acts
The rules: market status by product type, labelling and claims, organic and novel-food requirements, enforcement watch — twenty markets on fourteen rule sets.
The shelf
- Four temperatures — ambient, chilled, frozen and fresh.
- Six lanes — organic, free-from, plant-based, artisan, origin and premium.
- Eight departments — Grocery, Fresh, Dairy, Deli, Bakery, Meat & Seafood, Frozen, Beverages.
