Global Data Synchronization Network

The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is an internet-based, interconnected network of interoperable data pools governed by GS1 standards.

The GDSN enables companies around the globe to exchange standardized product master data with their trading partners.

The GS1 Global Registry acts as a directory to point to the data pool where data is housed, and matches subscription to registrations in order to facilitate synchronization.
