Pyx Identity Resolver

The Pyx Identity Resolver is a system designed to manage and resolve links associated with various identifiers, such as GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). It provides a flexible solution for identity registry operators or identifier owners to register and manage links to more information about a product. This system enables value chain actors to resolve and access this information across different identifier schemes, enhancing traceability and data accessibility throughout the supply chain.

Core Functionality

• Identifier scheme management (registering and configuring permitted identifier schemes for link registration)
• Link registration and management (allowing registry operators or identifier owners to add and update links to product information)
• Link resolution (enabling value chain actors to access additional information linked to identifiers across various identifier schemes)

Standards Compliance

• ISO 18975 for link resolution
• RFC 9264 for link sets
• GS1 Digital Link for resolving GS1 identifiers

Access Control

• Anonymous users can resolve link information without authentication
• Authenticated users via API endpoints can:
  • Register and manage identifier schemes
  • Register and manage supported link types for identifier schemes
  • Register and manage links for specific identifiers within permitted identifier schemes
