BRIDGE Directory relies on centralized
services to store data provider links.
There are scalability and single point-of-
failure issues to be considered.
Theseos has several distributed data stores.
Queries are answered recursively.
Each company can enforce data ownership.
OIDA relies on a Peer-to-Peer network with a
hashing algorithm for data placement in nodes. It
is fully decentralized and has potential for high
scalability.
There are issues about response quality and
timeliness. Query capabilities are limited to
object ID matching.
ID@URI uses a product-agent architecture.
All data concerning the item is forwarded to a
central data store, managed by the product’s
manufacturer.

Conclusion
• Developed a cost model to quantitatively compare traceability systems
• Future work
– More detail
– Address scale and security concerns
– Validate model using actual systems
