Event module: Description back to ToC

Event module of the EU DPP Core Ontology. It defines ESPR-level product and DPP event concepts. Selected GS1 EPCIS and CBV terms are referenced in this file for technical event representation only; this does not imply a global owl:imports of EPCIS/CBV nor logical subclassing between GS1 Web Vocabulary concepts and EU DPP Core Ontology classes. Cross-module EU DPP Core Ontology relations are intended to be managed in the Connector/mapping layer.

This section provides details for each class and property defined by Event module.

Classes

AggregationEventc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://ref.gs1.org/epcis/AggregationEvent

The event type AggregationEvent describes events that apply to objects that have been aggregated to one another. In such an event, there is a set of 'contained' objects that have been aggregated within a 'containing' entity that's meant to identify the aggregation itself. This event type is intended to be used for 'aggregations', meaning an association where there is a strong physical relationship between the containing and the contained objects such that they will all occupy the same location at the same time, until such time as they are disaggregated.

AssociationEventc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://ref.gs1.org/epcis/AssociationEvent

The event type AssociationEvent describes the association or disassociation of one or several physical objects with a parent object or a specific physical location. Like the AggregationEvent, the AssociationEvent is also used to capture associations where there is a strong physical relationship between the containing and the contained objects such that they will all occupy the same location at the same time, until such time as they are disaggregated. However, the AggregationEvent does not allow for associations of objects with physical locations; if action is DELETE while omitting the childEPC and childQuantityList field, all contained children are disaggregated from the containing parent. Because there are situations in which associations are more permanent, i.e. beyond the physical flow of goods (e.g. packing/unpacking and loading/unloading), an AssociationEvent SHOULD be used: (a) when objects need to be associated with a physical location or (b) when the parent object could also be subject to other, more temporary associations (i.e. captured using AggregationEvent).
