<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>
This specification is designed to enable global supply chain stakeholders to benefit from emerging technological web
standards like the Verifiable Credential (VC) Data Model, Linked Data (i.e. JSON-LD), and the Decentralized Identifier
(DID) Spec. This specification is relevant to prevalent supply chains but also allows for other use cases across a
variety of market segments. The corresponding data exchange schemas are modeled for Verifiable Credentials, which is a
standard for cryptographically signing business data. Schema semantics are precisely defined by use of Linked Data
which leverage established vocabularies such as schema.org, GS1, and UN/CEFACT.
This specification seeks to enable a path towards supply chain digitization, at its foundation addressing new threats surfaces
of a digital society:
</p>

<p>
<cite>
The private sector must adapt to the continuously changing threat environment, ensure its products are built and operate
securely, and partner with the Federal Government to foster a more secure cyberspace. In the end, the trust we place in
our digital infrastructure should be proportional to how trustworthy and transparent that infrastructure is, and to the
consequences we will incur if that trust is misplaced.

<p>
<cite>
The digital transformation of society [...] has expanded the threat landscape and is
bringing about new challenges, which require adapted and innovative responses.
Now any disruption, even one initially confined to one entity or one sector, can have cascading effects more broadly,
potentially resulting in far-reaching and long-lasting negative impacts in the delivery of services across the whole
internal market.
