Identifiers of **businesses** (eg tax registration numbers), of **locations** (eg google pins or cadastral/lot numbers), and of **products** (eg GS1 GTINs or other schemes) are ubiquitous throughout supply chains and underpin the integrity of the system. The diagram shows an example of a global and a local scheme for three types of entity. These are just a few of thousands of existing identifier schemes. This identity resolver specification builds upon these identifier schemes so that existing investments and high integrity registers can be leveraged. This specification also supports the use of self-issued decentralised identifiers.

A key challenge is to ensure that all these different data carrier representations are mapped to a consistent globally unique identifier when building value chain transparency graphs.

There are some cases where an identifier scheme owner manages identifiers at a coarse granularity by issuing globally unique prefixes but allows the subject to manage more fine grained identifiers themselves. For example
