Brand Object

[thomasdbruton]

I propose we create a "Brand" object for the purpose of allowing manufactures to present consistent branding throughout the product data pipeline.

The elements could be something like the following:
BrandID
ParentCompany
ParentBrandID
BrandName
BrandDescription
BrandLogo

It is not immediately clear if this should be included in an existing document, such as item, or if we would be better served by creating something separate, much like product codes.

I suggest a separate document. It should include a node for distributors in each country. Like this:

<BrandID>Korg<BrandID>
<Distributors>
       <Distributor>
               <Country>US<Country>
               <PartyID>067012582255<PartyID>   <!-- using the party GLN or NAMM ID -->
       <Distributor>
       <Distributor>
               <Country>JP<Country>
               <PartyID>067012582256<PartyID>   <!-- using the party GLN or NAMM ID -->
       <Distributor>
</Distributors>
