Registry,The GDSN that enables companies around the globe to exchange standardized andproduct synchronized [[supply chain]]master data with their trading partners using a standardised [[Global Product Classification]].

The GDSN is used as a tool to support high data quality through use of authoritative data sources, real-time data synchronization, and standardization of data formatting.

GDSN assures that data exchanged between trading partners is accurate and compliant with universally supported standards.

The GDSN operates using a publish-subscribe pattern between two trading partners, each of which are registered with and access the GDSN via a data pool. The GS1 Global Registry acts as a directory to point to the data pool where data is housed, and matches subscription to registrations in order to facilitate synchronization.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gs1us.org/DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Download.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=569&language=en-US&PortalId=0&TabId=134 |title=GS1: Foodservice: Getting Started with the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network |access-date=2020-03-05 |archive-date=2021-05-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521101627/https://www.gs1us.org/DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Download.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=569&language=en-US&PortalId=0&TabId=134 |url-status=live }}</ref>
