The EPCglobal Network is a network providing a shared view of the disposition of EPC-bearing objects between EPCglobal subscribers, within a relevant business context. In the EPCglobal Network, product data is distributed to several EPCISes(EPC Information Services) via movement of the product. The ONS (Object Naming Service) and the EPCISDS (EPCIS Discovery Service) are used to identify the distributed data for tracing the product. However, there is neither a standard scenario for access to the services when tracing the product nor a defined standard for EPCISDS. This paper suggests a novel architecture for tracing product data with EPCISDS and ONS. Our architecture provides a concrete substructure for product tracing services.
