What, specifically was updated?

The scope of this update was limited to the data format supported by the GDST. Previous versions of the EPCIS standard supported the use of an XML data format, the updated version supports the use of a JSON-LD data format. Thus, we adopted JSON-LD as the data format for the GDST and made additional minor changes to align with EPCIS 2.0. These changes are reflected in the revised section 2 of the Technical Implementation Guidance Document. No significant changes were made to the remaining Standard documents. This update did not change the CTE/KDE matrix.
