We hijacked this thread over to the data modelers list last night.
There were a couple different strings so it's difficult to paste them
all here but they are available in the archives: <a href="http://lists.freebase.com/pipermail/data-modeling/" target="_blank">

I looked at the UPC database site some more, and (unfortunately) it doesn't seem to have a lot of the manufacturer data filled in. I went to GS1 US site, but it didn't look like that data was available there either? Does anyone know where this information might be available under the Creative Commons license? Thanks!

It would probably make sense to have some sort of "products producer" co-type. The producers would have a "products produced" link to the "producer" field of the corresponding "product" type.
<br> <br> Not every company produces products, and there are some products that are produced by groups other than companies. <br> <br> Other than that, it sounds like great information to track. <br> <br> Kavitha Srinivas wrote:

<br> Key products seems to be important information for a company. <br> Thanks! <br> Kavitha <br> _______________________________________________ <br> Developers mailing list <br> <a href="mailto:Developers@freebase.com" target="_blank">
