Need for information in supply chains
- What do my customers need from me?- How much inventory is in stock?- When should I ship this product?- What are the characteristics of this item?- Where are the shipments related to this purchase
order?- What parties have handled this item before I received
it? And why?

Finding EPCIS Data
How do you find other parties who have data of interest? Three options:
Pre-arrangement• with your known trading partners
Object Name Service (ONS)• a registry of all EPCIS instances• finds the EPCIS of the party that created a given identification key
Discovery Services• Potentially finds all data resources in the supply chain
