The Global Data Model Standard includes attributes and code lists for the following Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) product categories: Food, Near Food, Pet Food, Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco. The GDM spreadsheet also includes the Business Names, Business Definitions, Examples and Usage Statements that have been developed within the Attribute Definitions for Business (ADB) Standard. This data is closely aligned with the GDM; however the ADB is a separate standard and not part of the GDM Standard.
