Published Vocabulary and Context

The UNTP Core Vocabulary and versioned JSON-LD context files are published as linked data at https://vocabulary.uncefact.org/untp/.

Artefact	URL
Core Vocabulary	https://vocabulary.uncefact.org/untp/
V0.7.0 JSON-LD Context	https://vocabulary.uncefact.org/untp/0.7.0/context/

The vocabulary defines persistent linked data URIs for all UNTP classes and properties and is not versioned — terms are stable once published. The JSON-LD context files, which map credential properties to vocabulary URIs, are versioned with each specification release.

Vocabulary Overview

The UNTP core vocabulary defines the classes and properties that underpin all five UNTP credential types: Digital Product Passport (DPP), Digital Facility Record (DFR), Digital Conformity Credential (DCC), Digital Traceability Event (DTE), and Digital Identity Anchor (DIA). Each credential type is a specialisation of VerifiableCredential that wraps a specific domain subject — for example, a DPP wraps a Product, while a DCC wraps a ConformityAttestation.

The vocabulary is designed to extend, not duplicate, established external vocabularies. The credential envelope inherits from the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0, and the Address class extends schema:PostalAddress. UNTP only defines properties that are specific to supply chain transparency — all inherited properties from W3C VCDM and Schema.org are referenced, not redefined.

The diagram below shows the high-level structure of the vocabulary. Five credential types each compose a domain subject class. A central design principle is verifiable performance claims — both products (via DPP) and facilities (via DFR) carry Claim objects that reference specific Criterion definitions. Independent conformity assessments (via DCC) evaluate the same criteria, providing third-party verification of the supplier's own claims. This shared reference to common criteria is what makes UNTP claims verifiable: a buyer can match a product's self-declared claims against independent assessment results for the same criteria. Traceability events (via DTE) record product lifecycle activities — manufacturing, movement, and modification — linking products to the facilities where these activities occur. Party is a shared class referenced across all subjects to identify the organisations involved.

scope	ConformityProfile	Classification	A set of classification codes that may be used to categorize the applicability of this criteria - for example industry sector, jurisdiction or commodity type - based on a formal vocabulary.
score	Performance, ScoringFramework	Score	A performance score (eg "AA") drawn from a scoring framework defined by the scheme or criterion.
sensor	SensorData	Product	The sensor device used for this sensor measurement
sensorData	LifecycleEvent, MakeEvent, MoveEvent, ModifyEvent	SensorData	A sensor data set associated with this lifecycle event.
specifiedCondition	ConformityAssessment	string	A list of specific conditions that constrain this conformity assessment. For example a specific jurisdiction, material type, or test method.
standard	StandardAlignment	Standard	The standard against which this alignment assessment is made.
standardAlignment	ConformityProfile	StandardAlignment	A list of voluntary standards referenced by this conformity profile and against which some level of compliance can be inferred for subjects that pass an assessment.
startDate	Period	date	The period start date
status	Criterion, ConformityProfile	CriterionStatus	The lifecycle status of this criterion.
statusListCredential	BitstringStatusListEntry	URI	The statusListCredential property MUST be a URL to a verifiable credential. When the URL is dereferenced, the resulting verifiable credential MUST have type property that includes the BitstringStatusListCredential value.
statusListIndex	BitstringStatusListEntry	integer	The statusListIndex property MUST be an arbitrary size integer greater than or equal to 0, expressed as a string in base 10. The value identifies the position of the status of the verifiable credential.

type	BitstringStatusListEntry	string	The type of status list - must be set to "The type property MUST be BitstringStatusListEntry."
unit	Measure	UnitOfMeasure	Unit of measure drawn from the UNECE Rec20 measure code list.
upperTolerance	Measure	number	The upper tolerance associated with this measure expressed in the same units as the measure. For example value=10, upperTolerance=0.1, unit=KGM would mean that this measure is 10kg + 0.1kg
url	RenderTemplate2024	URI	URL for remotely hosted template
validFrom	ConformityProfile	date	The data from which this scheme version is valid.
value	Measure	number	The numeric value of the measure
version	Criterion, ConformityProfile	string	The major.minor version of the the criterion. Minor versions represent changes that would not invalidate an assessment made under a previous version.
volume	Dimension	Measure	The displacement volume of the product. eg {"value":7.5, "unit":"LTR"}
