The Transparency Claims Data Dictionary includes metadata for profiles, material claims, and the product module claims library. Below is a dictionary of the most commonly used product module attributes to help with common operations. For indicators outside of this list, please contact Higg for more information.

Profiles

Profiles are the webpage containers that hold claims. Each profile gets a webpage with the same id using format https://profiles.production.higg.com/profile/{profile id}. A profile in future can have multiple claims attached to it, though currently only one Materials claim is associated with each profile.

Product Module Claims Library

This claims data is from the product material claims library and is NOT the final claim information. API users can access the product module claims information to manage claims prior to the claim being approved and the final claims/profiles being created the claims library.
