EPCGlobal... Standardization is not THE solution (simply a part of it).

EPCGlobal set of standards are one of the best available resources one can use to address traceability issues in closed or semi-open loops.
However, I consider the current EPCGlobal vision and concepts as somehow "limited" in its willingness and capacity to address every kind of actors in any situation (too much standardization, too many deterministic views, etc.).
This is why my company is using different approaches to enhance / leverage existing solutions (artificial intelligence, decisional analysis, etc.).
What has been done on DS (Discovery Services) so far (BRIDGE project, IETF, etc.) is, to my point of view, not always adapted to the market (real life) and I really wonder whether EPCGlobal will succeed or not with such an issue.
Actully deterministic and probabilistic approaches (some of the experimented ones) are not suited to treat complexity...

Tout à fait d'accord avec Philippe, d'autant plus que de nombreux autres aspects devraient être pris en compte, dans le cadre d'une gestion d'identité fédérée qui permettrait notamment d'adjoindre des données relatives à l'assurance du bien, à sa garantie, à sa maintenance, à son cycle de vie, à son recyclage, etc...
