Prior art

External standards this shape draws from or aligns with. See Shape design principles for how prior art informs shape design.

• schema.org/Product (IndividualProduct subtype) — Our serialNumber = serialNumber; modelNumber ≈ model; specs ≈ additionalProperty (PropertyValue list).
• GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) — Hardware bar-codes are GTIN-12/13/14 — we reuse the product shape’s barcode alignment.
