add a way to express product name(s) and numbers (GTIN, GMN etc.)

[okworx]

I raise this change request because...

• [ ] the ILCD+EPD format lacks compliance with regualtions.
• [ ] the ILCD+EPD format lacks conformaty with standards.
• [X] the ILCD+EPD format needs to be improved regarding existing format or master data elements.
• [ ] there is another problem or use case I´m trying to address.

Problem description

We also want to be able to find an EPD for a given product by searching for a product code (e.g. GTIN, GMN etc.), trade name or other identifying means.

Solution description

We want to have a machine readable list of exact product names and corresponding product codes.

The product code type (GTIN, GMN) should be user extensible.

For average EPDs, this will at the same time describe which exact products went into the average.

Relevance or added value

Can be modelled as a list of product codes with type and value. Type can be user defined, with pre-defined values "GTIN", "GMN". Suggestions for further product code types are welcome.

example:

(type)  (value)
GTIN    3234567890126
GTIN    3234567890132
GTIN    3234567890288
GMN     445922
