GPC contains a ery large categorisation of products (food and non-food). The categorisation contains a hierarchy (based in what criteria?). The granularity of the hierarchy is reasobly specific, but falls short of the OFF taxonomy. I had look at the GPC categories (https://gpc-browser.gs1.org), whether mapping to our categories would be feasible. An issue that I already see is that our tree can be more specific. Sometimes we have details not expressible in GPC. GPC uses multiple attributes instead of children. For instance the grade of an oil is an attribute, whether it is organic is an attribute and the type of oil is an attribute. This implies that some of our categories need multiple attributes AND corresponding values.

GPC is already used by some producers who upload their data. We could use it to assign products to categories, and as additional check. As no attributes are passed by producer we can skip these for the moment.
