GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

At GS1 Denmark, we work every day to ensure that data flows freely and accurately throughout the entire value chain. One of the people making that happen is Christina Wilms Nielsen, our Data Model Specialist.
Christina develops and maintains the data models that make it easy for manufacturers and retailers to share the necessary information about their products – quickly, securely, and consistently.
A data model is a common set of ground rules for how product data should be structured and shared. When everyone follows the same rules, it means:
In short – better data quality that saves time and creates value for manufacturers, wholesalers, retail chains, and consumers alike.
And with her experience from Salling Group, Christina knows how important data quality is for successful collaboration and efficient processes – and that high-quality data doesn't happen by itself.
Christina’s work is about translating industry needs and regulatory requirements into concrete, user-friendly solutions.
Right now, GS1 Denmark is involved in, among other things, the collaboration on a common European data model for the healthcare sector. At the same time, we are working on data requirements for products such as eggs, coffee, and dietary supplements in our data pool, GS1Trade Sync.

GTIN (also known as EAN) stands for “Global Trade Item Number” and is the number sequence shown beneath a barcode symbol.
GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.
A GLN (also known as EAN) allows you to uniquely identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This can include the sender, receiver, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, billing location, store, or internal departments.
