Core Business Vocabulary Modules

The Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) module is mostly a collection of enumerated values that, as such, make the development of CVB/EPCIS applications considerably easier and much less prone to error. For most Python development environments, this module will enable code-completion for the various enumerations within this module. To represent any of the enumeration values in your code as a python string, reference the .value property of the enum value in question. For example:

>>> from EPCPyYes.core.v1_2.CBV.dispositions import Disposition
>>> print(Disposition.encoded.value)
urn:epcglobal:cbv:disp:encoded

CBV Helper Functions

The helper functions assist in the creation of properly formed URN values for use in EPCIS events.

EPCPyYes.core.v1_2.CBV.helpers.get_ilmd_enum_by_value(value: str)

Returns an enum in the ILMD module based on the inbound string value or None if no enum containing value is found. :param value: The value to search for.

EPCPyYes.core.v1_2.CBV.helpers.make_trade_item_master_data_urn(company_prefix, indicator_digit, item_reference, lot=None, serial_number=None)

Create the right trade item master data urn based on supplied values per the section 9 and 7.3.3.3.3 instructions in the standard.

Parameters

• company_prefix – Company prefix.

• indicator_digit – Product indicator digit

• item_reference – The Item reference number.

• lot – (Optional) the lot number. If supplied, this will result in a lot-based identifier and the serial_number will be ignored.

• serial_number – (Optional) the serial number of the trade item.

Returns

A properly formatted trade item master data urn value.

Business Steps (BizSteps)

The Business Steps enumerations make it easy for developers to programatically include the proper CBV compliant business step data in their events.

Trade Item Master Data

This section containes enumerations that specifie master data attributes that may be used to describe a trade item identifier that appears in the “what” dimension of an EPCIS event, including the EPC, Parent ID, and EPC Class fields.

Defined in section 9 of the CBV standard.

class EPCPyYes.core.v1_2.CBV.instance_lot_master_data.FarmListAttributeName(value)

An enumeration.

class EPCPyYes.core.v1_2.CBV.instance_lot_master_data.ILMDAttributeName(value)

An enumeration.

The ILMD class as defined in section 7.3.6 of the EPCIS standard and section 9 of the CBV.

Initializes a new InstanceLotMasterDataAttribute instance that is CBV 1.2 compliant.

Parameters

• name – An ILMDAttribute as defined in the CBV

• value – The value of that attribute.

property name

Gets and sets this class’s ILMDAttributeName enum.

Returns

an ILMDAttributeName enum from the CBV instance_lot_master_data package. Use the value attribute of the returned enum to convert to a string.

property value

Gets and sets the value of the ILMD node. This value should be XML safe and is not auto-escaped.
