 fb0202b8/\n\nThe [first barcode went beep](https://americanhistory.si.edu/
 collections/search/object/nmah_892778) at a checkout in Ohio almost 50 yea
 rs ago (1974-06-26T08:01:00+05:00). [GS1](https://www.gs1.org/)\, the glob
 al organization behind the numbering system embedded in billions of barcod
 es around the world\, is [working with industry to replace it](https://www
 .gs1.org/industries/retail/2D-barcodes) with higher-capacity\, more functi
 onal alternatives. You won't be surprised to learn that in many cases this
  will be a QR code that contains a URI. But the URI has additional structu
 re that encodes not just the basic product identifier but things like batc
 h numbers\, serial numbers\, expiry dates and more. The ambition is that b
 y the end of 2027\, the original 1970s barcode can begin to retire.\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\n\nThis presents substantial opportunities for the Web. Some claim i
 t also presents opportunities for bad actors. This breakout session is abo
 ut:\n\n\n\n1. How do I recognize a "GS1 Digital Link URI" when I see it? (
 example: https://example.com/01/09506000134352/10/ABC)\n\n\n\n2. What can 
 I do with it? Linked Data? HATEOS? (try https://id.gs1.org/01/095060001343
 52/10/ABC?linkType=all)\n\n\n\n3. Whaddyamean the domain name isn't part o
 f the identifier?? That's nuts! (it's also true)\n\n\n\n4. How does this t
 ie in with product conformance certificates\, trade digitization\, the for
 thcoming EU Digital Product Passport regulation\, traceability\, sustainab
 ility and generally 'selling more stuff'\n\n\n\n5. Ah\, forget it\, it's a
  URL so I can do what I like... (true)\n\nAgenda: https://github.com/w3c/t

 or the Web. Some claim it also presents opportunities for bad actors. This
  breakout session is about:\n\n\n\n1. How do I recognize a "GS1 Digital Li
 nk URI" when I see it? (example: https://example.com/01/09506000134352/10/
 ABC)\n\n\n\n2. What can I do with it? Linked Data? HATEOS? (try https://id

 domain name isn't part of the identifier?? That's nuts! (it's also true)\n
 \n\n\n4. How does this tie in with product conformance certificates\, trad
 e digitization\, the forthcoming EU Digital Product Passport regulation\, 
 traceability\, sustainability and generally 'selling more stuff'\n\n\n\n5.
  Ah\, forget it\, it's a URL so I can do what I like... (true)\n\n**Goal(s
 ):**\nTo discuss the future possibilities - good and bad - that the change
  to Web-enabled barcodes offer. How it ties in with DIDs and VCs\, and how
  it can be used to improve consumer experiences online.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne
  specific question: does putting URIs with additional structure into QR co
 des on millions of products create a massive security headache?\n\n\n**Mat
