Substance

A Substance represents a chemical or biological substance associated with an article — for example an active ingredient, additive, or allergen. In the ECommerce context, Substance data may be surfaced on product detail pages to meet legal disclosure requirements (e.g. food labeling, cosmetics regulations) or to support consumer-facing ingredient lists.

The ECommerce converter exposes a minimal view of the substance record — sufficient to identify the substance and its record state — with detailed analytical data remaining in domain-specific backend modules.
