Are GS1 Digital Link and SmartLabel the same thing?

Are GS1 Digital Link and SmartLabel the same thing?

Some leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands have launched an effort to offer data controlled by the brand through a secondary QR code. The SmartLabel content operates similarly.

However, the GS1 Digital Link is a single barcode that can be used for both point-of-sale (POS) checkout and by consumers to access product information. Moreover, the Digital Link's durability allows for using a "Resolver," which enables different applications to direct to other web pages using the same barcode.
