Data & identifiers

What flows through, and how it's identified

Illustrative field families until a schema is approved.

Catalog data categories

  • Parts — Product master, attributes, fitment claims
  • Vehicles — Listing data under verified dealer rights
  • Media — Images and documents with licensed rights
  • OEM data — Brand designations with approved delegation
  • Stock and offers — Quantities, prices and validity — source-gated

Each category keeps its own provenance. Unsupported types are visibly excluded.

Identifiers are not interchangeable

Matching values from different identifier types are never merged automatically. Collisions need a reviewed action.

Fitment, stock & price

Claims carry their evidence

Fitment
