A Registry complementary to the Object Naming Service (ONS) planned for RFID - but specifically mapping the previous generation of product codes - would jump-start the use of product codes as unique identifiers in Internet commerce. In the long run, it would be subsumed by the ONS itself, but would play a valuable role now as a means to rapidly facilitate conversion of product codes to useful handles on the Internet. The white paper outlines the challenge of creating such a Registry and associated opensource product information-publishing tools, with estimates of the effort required.
