Product documents: keep language, type and revision separate
Connect each product document to its type, language and stated revision. An ATG reference and a fictional exercise for a source-linked data handoff.
Pimcore’s ATG Hand Care case credits Studio Emma with centralized multilingual product documentation and document generation for ATG’s website and B2B portal.
For a marketplace data handoff, use a document register to explain which file supports which review question. A product sheet, a declaration and a translation can concern one item while carrying different revision information. The method below is a separate PandaBuyNow data-delivery proposal.
Give the file and its stated revision separate fields
Record the product or model identifier, source page and document link. Give each file its own document identifier, original filename, document type, language and visible revision or issue date. Retain the source wording when a revision label has no clear date.
Keep the collection time in a separate field, with a timezone or documented time convention. A recent download establishes when the file was obtained. Its revision still needs evidence inside the document or its supporting source. Where available, retain a file hash to distinguish files that share a filename.
Check two fictional documents without sharing their dates
Consider invented item GLOVE-A. Its source page links an English product sheet with no visible revision and a French declaration labelled revision R2. Create two document records. The English sheet keeps its unknown revision; R2 belongs to the declaration.
If a later download uses the same English filename, compare the retained file references before treating it as a new revision. Preserve a changed file as another observation and record what was reviewed. These invented document labels and details describe neither ATG’s records nor a completed PandaBuyNow project.
Deliver a register the recipient can interpret
Agree the required document types and languages through a small data excerpt. Include a file with a stated revision, a file without one and an uncertain product association. Record whether each file was readable and whether its stated subject supports the intended product link. Leave an uncertain association open. Where a recipient supplies a replacement, identify the document record it supersedes and retain the reason for that link. A translated counterpart should keep its own revision evidence.
For a PandaBuyNow discussion, provide representative product links, available document references and the recipient’s expected JSON or CSV fields. Agree the register, field definitions, source references and data-quality notes. This delivery organizes document evidence for the recipient’s review; technical suitability, certification and reuse permission require their own supporting material.
