What is the minimum amount of data that is useful? #1

Supply chains are complex and have lots of potential information within them. What about thinking about it the other way? What is the minimum amount of data to exchange that is useful?

I have been thinking it is the type of object it is combined with a unique identifier for that object type along with a GUID.

The use case I'm imagining where you only are using this very minimum amount of data is through a look-up to see if you have the same facility in each respective database.

Possible scenarios: Platform A has a list of potential facilities they query Platform B for and Platform B responds with which ones they have. Platform B and Platform D are trying to keep their data in sync. Platform B has a stream of data that let's platform D know when a location has changed. Then Platform D can query for the long form data to update their system.

Are there are use cases for this minimum?
