Batch metadata schema

The off-chain document every batch commits to with metadataHash and points to with uri, generated from standard/schema/batch-metadata.schema.json on each build.

केवल अंग्रेज़ी में उपलब्ध

यह दस्तावेज़ अंग्रेज़ी में प्रकाशित है। श्वेतपत्र के अध्याय और आरेख अनूदित हैं; नॉर्मेटिव मानक, सिस्टम डिज़ाइन मार्गदर्शिकाएँ और निर्णय रिकॉर्ड अंग्रेज़ी में ही रहते हैं ताकि एक ही प्रामाणिक पाठ रहे।

Off-chain metadata document for an A-REX batch. The keccak256 of the canonical (RFC 8785 JCS) serialization of this document is stored on-chain as IARexBatch.Batch.metadataHash. Field names follow GS1 EPCIS 2.0 / CBV where a counterpart exists, and the FDA Food Traceability Rule key data elements (KDE) where relevant. Personal data of natural persons MUST NOT be placed in this document when it is published to a public location; use the restricted pointer instead.

How the document relates to the token

On-chain field	In the document
`metadataHash`	`keccak256` of the canonical (RFC 8785) serialization of this document
`uri`	where this document is published (IPFS, HTTPS, GS1 Digital Link)
`commodity`, `unit`	`commodity.scheme` + `commodity.code`, and `unit`, in readable form
`originRef`	`origin.originRef`; precise geodata only behind `restricted`
`status` values 1..254	`status.table`, the issuer's meaning of each value

`gs1`	object		GS1 identifiers of the lot, when the issuer uses GS1.

`origin`	object		Origin evidence. Public documents carry references only; precise geolocation lives behind `restricted`.
`quality`	object		Grade and laboratory measurements of the lot.
`status`	object		Issuer-defined meaning of on-chain status values 1..254.
`attestations`	array of object		Informative copy of expected attestation topics; the on-chain IARexAttest registry is authoritative.

`epcis`	object		Optional EPCIS 2.0 context for indexers mapping on-chain events to EPCIS events.
`restricted`	object		Pointer to data that must not be public (precise plot polygons, producer identity). Access is governed off-chain.
`external_url`	string (uri)		Web page with more information about the lot (ERC-1155 metadata convention).
`attributes`	array of object		ERC-1155 metadata compatibility (OpenSea-style traits).
