How is GPC developed and maintained?

Modified on Fri, 30 Aug at 3:07 PM

GPC standards are developed by the community through the GPC SMG (Standards Maintenance Group).


Consistent with the Global Standards Management Process (GSMP), GPC Work Requests are submitted by the community to initiate a change management process.


When a Work Request (WR) is received, it is evaluated as to whether the attribute is a part of the Trade Item (delivered via Global Data Dictionary), or part of the GPC Brick (as an “Attribute”).


A specific set of rules determines this split.  A series of questions is applied to each GPC WR.
