Motivation[edit]
@Teolemon, Pigsonthewing, Fnielsen, AVRS, ArthurPSmith:
Notified participants of WikiProject Companies
GS1 Company Prefix (P3193) is the prefix (or list of prefixes) for GTINs issued by the company.
This proposal (GLN) is for the main GS1 identifier of a company, and for identifiers of its branches and warehouses. The same GLN may own multiple prefixes, and then only one of them would be a prefix of the company GLN , see examples in Property_talk:P3193#Split_in_Two_Props.
So we need a separate property.

Discussion[edit]
Support I'm not too familiar with GS1 but this seems like a useful separation - I assume this one should have a unique value constraint for wikidata items then? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Comment We already have quite detailed Wikidata items about places. Why dont we directly link it to them? I wonder what is the reason why GS1 system is invented. Rtnf (talk) 05:57, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Rtnf: Because there are very many places relevant for logistics that don't have global IDs, eg port berths, ship positions on a berth, warehouses, gates, even a radiology lab door --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 09:59, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Wouldn't this represent Global Location Number (Q1258830) rather than GS1 (Q731100) as currently filled in? --SilentSpike (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- @SilentSpike: Thanks! I see someone already did that --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 09:59, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
| @Vladimir Alexiev, ArthurPSmith, 1-Byte: The property was successfully created have fun working with it. --Gymnicus (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2021 (UTC) |
- Added "distinct-values constraint; constraint status: mandatory constraint" --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 10:03, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
