Master data represents "data about the business entities that provide context for business transactions".[1] The most commonly found categories of master data are parties (individuals and organisations, and their roles, such as customers, suppliers, employees), products, financial structures (such as ledgers and cost centres) and locational concepts.[1][2]
Master data should be distinguished from reference data. While both provide context for business transactions, reference data is concerned with classification and categorisation, while master data is concerned with business entities.
Master data is, by its nature, almost always non-transactional in nature. There exist edge cases where an organization may need to treat certain transactional processes and operations as "master data". This arises, for example, where information about master data entities, such as customers or products, is only contained within transactional data such as orders and receipts and is not housed separately.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code
The Universal Product Code (UPC or UPC code) is a barcode symbology that is used worldwide for tracking trade items in stores.
A UPC barcode
The chosen symbology has bars (or spaces) of exactly 1, 2, 3, or 4 units wide each; each decimal digit to be encoded consists of two bars and two spaces chosen to have a total width of 7 units, in both an "even" and an "odd" parity form, which enables being scanned in either direction. Special "guard patterns" (3 or 5 units wide, not encoding a digit) are intermixed to help decoding.
A UPC (technically, a UPC-A) consists of 12 digits that are uniquely assigned to each trade item. The international GS1 organisation assigns the digits used for both the UPC and the related International Article Number (EAN) barcode.[1] UPC data structures are a component of Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and follow the global GS1 specification, which is based on international standards.

George Joseph Laurer III (September 23, 1925 – December 5, 2019) was an American engineer for IBM at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. He published 20 bulletins, held 28 patents and developed the Universal Product Code (UPC) in the early 1970s. He devised the coding and pattern used for the UPC, based on Joe Woodland's more general idea for barcodes.

The Saint George and the Dragon sculpture is located in Köpmantorget (Merchants' Street) in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden. Unveiled on 10 October 1912, marking the anniversary of the Battle of Brunkeberg, it is a bronze replica of Bernt Notke's wooden Saint George and the Dragon, which is in Stockholm's Storkyrkan. It is dedicated to Saint George, in particular the legend of Saint George and the Dragon.
Interesting to see how there is a depiction of a dragon statue even though dragons are just fairytales, myths and legends. Apparently cultures from east west have a lot of depictions of dragons in different forms.
