UBL Catalogue requirements for the textile and apparel industry

[JAVEST <roberto@javest.com>]

Dear PSC,
our primary UBL ITLSC member ENEA has a long experience into the textile 
supply chain and they are promoting and implementing the UBL Catalogue.

Please find below a set of requirements for the UBL Catalogue 2.0:

1. It is required to associate 1 or more pictures to show the item or 
parts of it.

    I proposed to use the attachment for this purpose:
    
Catalogue->CatalogueLine->Item->ItemSpecificationDocumentReference->Attachment 


2. For a given item it is required to specify a set of variations (e.g. 
A T-Shirt is available on different colors: white, black, red, ... but 
also there are two different embroiders variations)

    I proposed:
    Catalogue->CatalogueLine->Item->AdditionalItemIdentification

3. About the "Brand":
    The brand name seems to be not sufficient for the textile and 
apparel industry.
    These are the additional data that could expand the Brand element:
    - Brand Logo
    - Description
    - Code
    - Market (the target market/s for this brand)

    NOTE: A new Brand aggregate should be required for both the Item 
level and Document level.
                At the document level a Brand could be expressed as a 
default for all items.


For further discussions on this argument please reply to both me and 
Arianna Brutti.

Thank you in advance for your evaluations

Regards,

Roberto Cisternino
