UPC and SKU

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stock-keeping-unit-sku.asp

SKUs are company specific. UPCs are unique. 12 digits = 1 billion. Sounds like too few to keep up with the bunch of products that exist today.

For the case of the Open Source Economy, where Distributed Market Substitution becomes a reality based on optimal products - the case for the UPC becomes strong. Keeping track of best versions is a good idea. Identifying an optimal version can promote its replication. Identify building block Modules in a Construction Set Approach can lead to collaboration. From the standpoint of generative construction sets - identifying the critical building blocks is important. Here OSE can join with UPC and GTIN standards to facilitate the open source economy.
