GTINiksi
GTINiksi is a term used to describe a hypothetical extension to the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) framework. In this concept, GTINiksi combines standard GTIN identifiers with supplementary data elements to support enhanced product data exchange across supply chains, including origin, taxation, and compliance information. The term is not officially recognized by GS1, and no universal specification exists; it is used primarily in speculative discussions and data-modeling exercises.
Origin and usage: The term GTINiksi emerged in online forums and academic workshops in the early 2020s
Format and standards: In proposed models, GTINiksi would extend the GTIN with a defined set of data
Implementation: As a concept, GTINiksi has seen limited testing in pilots or mock catalogs by academic groups
