1. A Global Product Data Extension
How to use SDScom in intra-company communication

6. BDI workshop on SDScom, Berlin, 18. April 2018

How to use

3. Intra-company data exchange: Setup
Different data centers across the globe
host various applications
which share some (but not all) data

4. Application data exchange
Product centered, not document centered:
 Multiple legal regions in one data entity
 Coverage beyond Europe
 Content beyond the SDS
Development goals of Version 5: https://github.com/esdscom/sdscom-xml/wiki/Welcome-to-the-SDScom-XML-wiki!
All current releases of SDScom belong to version 4 and follow the paradigm that one set
of data (within the tag "Datasheet") represents one Safety Data Sheet. Version 5 has no
deadline yet, … but ... It should use a product-based approach ... IT systems such as SAP
usually maintain a product with links to n SDS flavours, or in other words, all info that is
the same for all national versions of an SDS is represented only once.

5. But...
 Version 5 is not yet scheduled, let alone started.
 The technical workshop in fall 2017 concluded that
SDScom should not cover content other than the SDS
in the near future.
Qualisys hazmat-exchange
is the solution to use SDScom
with a multi-region, product based approach
