The goal of this project is to create a centralized database of commonly used constants and strings in EPCIS events. Through the provision of these constants, other OpenEPCIS applications will have the ability to avoid the duplication of definitions.
OpenEPCIS has developed a central repository for standard EPCIS terms and GS1 related keywords to eliminate the repetitiveness and difficulty in managing constant information across various projects. By having this information in a single project file, any OpenEPCIS project can easily reference it, making it more manageable and easier to modify.
The constant information within the EPCIS class is directly accessible to users if they are using . For example, if users require the EPCIS standard keyword bizStep within their project then they
can make use of
the following variable:
EPCIS.BIZ_STEPSimilarly, if user requires the identifiers prefix in URN format:
EPCIS.INSTANCE_IDENTIFIER_URN_PREFIX
