[edit] This article is about GTIN, not EAN-UCC
The main part of this article describes the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number), which is a product of the organization called EAN-UCC (European Article Numbering-Uniform Code Council). To correctly describe the organization, this article should address its founding, its members, its other products, etc. Each product might have its own section or its own article, but GTIN should not be presented as the identity of the EAN-UCC. --Deviantgoods 19:57, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name change
It should be noted that EAN.UCC (and the vast majority of it's member organisations around the world) changed it's name to GS1 during the first few months of 2005. The global organisation is now called GS1 and the national MOs are style as GS1 Country Name (GS1 UK, GS1 US, GS1 France, etc.)You will see this reflected in the EAN.UCC website.

[edit] Representation of "EAN" "UCC"
When formed as a whole, "EAN" and "UCC" seem to be joined in no fewer than four different different ways:
- with a full stop
- with a mid-dot
- with a hypen
- with a slash
For consistency, the same form should be used throughout the article. Which form is correct? 22:50, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
