2.16 Conclusions
The EPCglobal Network is a collection of speci?¬?cations that are developed by thousands of
persons in a cooperative and global way. The network is expanding with many new
speci?¬?cations expected to be rati?¬?ed in 2007. It is anticipated that some of the speci?¬?cations
will be revised in the near future to accommodate the newer speci?¬?cations, changes to
business processes, new industries, new applications, and new technologies. The common
thread to the EPCglobal Network is that the identi?¬?er, the EPC tag, acts as a simple licence
plate or key to a database, and multiple databases spread geographically can be accessed
by applications to retrieve or discover the most up-to-date information about the object
that is identi?¬?ed by the EPC code.
