<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>
This specification describes discovery and exchange mechanisms, particularly
as they relate to supply chain use cases. The specification extends the core
Verifiable Credential API definitions described in the VC-API specification,
adding cross-security domain interactions. Systems implementing the
traceability-interop specification can exchange Verifiable Credentials over
HTTP within proofed Verifiable Presentations. Exchanged Verifiable
Credentials often implement schemas defined in the traceability-vocab
specification.
This specification describes discovery and exchange mechanisms of [Verifiable
Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/), particularly as they relate to supply chain use cases.
Exchanged Verifiable Credentials often implement schemas defined in the [Traceability Vocab
Specification](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/traceability-vocab/).
</p>
<p>
Using Verifiable Credentials to represent supply chain data enables interoperability between disparate actors,
and provides the ability to cryptographically verify the authenticity of the data.
</p>
<p>
This specification uses the [Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/)
specification to identify organizations within a supply chain. This enables organizations to interact with parties
outside their traditional supply chains, and removes the need for a central authority to identify supply chain
organizations.
