EPCIS for Waste Management: Achieving Environmental Sustainability

EPCIS 2.0 is the GS1 standard for supply-chain event data, and epcis.dev is a capture gateway for it: post an event and the door validates it against GS1's own schema, stamps the capturing account — capturedBy, the warrantor, kept distinct from who, the attested observer — hashes it by CBV 2.0, and appends. That is the ground the topic above stands on.

Whatever the setting, the mechanics underneath this topic are the same four moves: an event is captured at a door, validated against GS1's official EPCIS 2.0 schema, identified by the CBV 2.0 §8.9 hash of its own content, and appended to a store nothing can rewrite. The variations between industries and use cases are vocabulary — the CBV's business steps and dispositions — not architecture.

Ten years of vendor XML has a path forward: EPCIS 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 XML in, EPCIS 2.0 JSON-LD out, with a round-trip fidelity report per job so the translation is something you review rather than something you trust. That translator answers at POST /translate on this origin.

The part epcis.dev makes concrete is validation. Every event is machine-checked against the official GS1 EPCIS 2.0 JSON schema before it is accepted, and a capture that does not validate is refused as application/problem+json carrying the standard's own exception types, not a vendor error string.
