an Entity references as follows:
The Manufacturer Part Number or MPN is a unique identifier for a product, service, or bundle from the perspective of a particular manufacturer. MPNs can be assigned to products or product datasheets, or bundles. Accordingly, the domain of this property is the union of gr:ProductOrService (the common superclass of goods and datasheets), and gr:Offering. Important: Be careful when assuming two products or services instances or offering instances to be identical based on the MPN. Since MPNs are unique only for the same gr:BusinessEntity, this holds only when the two MPN values refer to the same gr:BusinessEntity. Such can be done by taking into account the provenance of the data. Usually, the properties gr:hasEAN_UCC-13 and gr:hasGTIN-14 are much more reliable identifiers, because they are globally unique.
