The GTIN Token Programme is operated by TRADE GATEWAYS
GTIN is the number that can be seen on the familar barcode.
GTIN is the acronym for “Global Trade Item Number”.
A GTIN is a number that is used to identify “something” that can be purchased, sold, or put into inventory. This includes individual items that can be purchased by a consumer as well as cases of items that could be purchased and moved within a supply chain.
A GTIN is an umbrella term used to refer to items that may need to be identified with a GTIN barcode.
The GTIN Token Registry builds on the GTIN System on which the Bar Code is built, to give product their own Unique Digital Identity for the Trade Digitization Process.
The GTIN TOKEN Trademark and other relevant Trademarks used in the Programme are owned by GTIN Token Limited who are the operators of the GTIN TOKEN Programme.
Digital Identifiers
Digital identifiers are unique pieces of information used to authenticate users, or objects in the digital world. In the GTIN Token System, Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), linked to specific addresses on the Internet (IP addresses), are used as digital identifiers.
When you enter a URL in your browser, it will first determine the domain name of that URL. It then looks up the IP address and connects to the server with this IP address. IP addresses are configured in the Global Domain Name System (DNS), which acts as a phone directory for the Internet.
Partners
The TradeDigitization.com Prgramme co-operates with a number of major partners including:

Payment Services Partners

Trade Servers - Hosting the GTIN Token Programme
Trade Servers are customized to be used for the GTIN Token Programme. Their IP Address is as a Unique Identifier for a particular Tokenized Trade Programme.
Trade Servers contain all required tools and all required information for the programme. The Trade Servers are fully supported by GTIN Token Programme, and individual Hosting Partners.
Trade servers host Trade Microsites, featuring multiple products for individual Manufacturers/Suppliers. All the resources of that machine are "dedicated" to that individual Manufacturer or Supplier, thereby using the dedicated IP Address of the server to provide a unique Identifier for them and their products.
Trade Documents Verification and Issuer Identification
The GTIN Token Programme uses the Domain Name System (DNS) as the method of issuer identity verification. As already stated, the DNS system can be summarised as: "Phonebook for the Internet".
Its primary purpose is to resolve human readable names such as "GTIN Token.com", to a set of records. The most common records are 'A records', which resolve to IP addresses - this allows network routing to operate over the Internet.
The GTIN Token Programme uses the TXT type of record, which simply allows the storage of textual data. The textual data stored indicates the deployed Document Store / Token Registry address.
By using the DNS system as an identity registry, the domain name owners can claim ownership of a Document Store / Token Registry smart contract on the Public Blockchain used for verification, which is the Polygon Blockchain.
Can Products have a Digital Identity?
Products can have a digital identity. Product Digital identity is the digital data and information that can be linked to a particular product.
Creating digital identities for products is becoming increasingly important, as more products become connected to digital ecosystems, especially within the supply chains to prevent fraud and address other issues.
Organizations can assign a digital identifier for a product in order to verify its authenticity and track its movements. It can also help customers verify the authenticity of a product, and access relevant product information and support.
