I had also been thinking that way and got the same reaction from the marketplace when this was first proposed in 2014.
Since then, working on point solutions which solve real problems for market actors has been the main strategy and that has worked really well. There are circumstances where cannabis companies must collaborate, but they aren't every circumstance. Adopting someone else's datamodel wholesale feels, to an innovative market player, like an abdication of their duty to understand their own product.
So, instead of replacing things, we add now, and adopt and include specifications that "just work" or have become defacto standards.
Open standards are great. We’ve got some significant buy in. But fracturing this into multiple specs has a risk of making it worse instead of better.
Also, your site https://opencannabis.info/ is offline.
edit: I see, you used to be BloomBox which looks like it died; perhaps that is how we missed each other.
