Agreed! We had an interesting structural debate about the value of products as assets versus products as taxonomy terms associated with their location. Not necessarily a right answer there, but things worth testing, thanks for sharing your application also to know these thoughts have broader needs. ---

Hey there! Great to reconnect @gbathree . Yup, it was me! Sorry, bit late to the party & feel free to point me somewhere else, if this has moved on. Couple of notes: 1. VOCbench: DFC has it’s own instance now… which you can find at vocbench[dot]datafoodconsortium[dot]org [Apparently, I’m not trustworthy enough to put more than 2 links in a post, so you’ll have to cut & paste that one 🫤]. We also have [ShowVOC](https://showvoc.datafoodconsortium.org/showvoc/#/home) - which doesn’t require a login, and allows you to browse the Ontology & Taxonomies. 2. The [PHP Connector](https://github.com/datafoodconsortium/connector-php) is now available, which could support/accelerate you creating the serializer/endpoints required. What it doesn’t do is support the OIDC integration, but there are Drupal modules for that, right! 😜 ---

FYI I opened a pull request to propose adding a Product asset type + Product type vocabulary to farmOS core: [Add a Product asset type and Product type taxonomy by mstenta · Pull Request #787 · farmOS/farmOS · GitHub](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/pull/787) ---

Update: the Product asset type pull request was merged, and farmOS v3.1.0 was released on Friday. Product assets are officially part of the farmOS core data model now! 🎉 Just a first step… (see my comment in this other thread) > [@Asset Type - "Product"](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/asset-type-product/1864/5): > > @graffte Agreed! Small step for a pull request, big step longer term. slight_smile FYI: The pull request was merged and farmOS 3.1.0 was released on Friday. I’m in the process of updating Farmier-hosted instances this weekend, so Product assets will become an option for you soon. Note that this does NOT include any UI features specifically to support the creation/maintenance of products. They are just another asset type. So essentially they are part of the data model now, but there’s more wo… [Previous page](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/tracking-products-and-inventory-product-quantity/1613.md?page=1)
