An Analysis of Integration Problems of XML-Based Catalogs for B2B Electronic Commerce
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic B2B marketplaces bring together many online suppliers and buyers, each of which can potentially use his own format to represent the products in his product catalog. The marketplaces have to perform non-trivial mappings of these catalogs. In this paper we analyze the problems which occur during integration, taking several leading XML and non-XML formats as examples. We discuss the method for applying XSLT technology to the integration problems, propose typical solutions to these problems, and give the corresponding examples of integration rules.

متن کاملXml Data Modeling Concepts in B2b Catalog Standards
The transmission of electronic product catalogs using e-business standards belongs to the first and most common applications of XML in B2B e-commerce. Suppliers create electronic catalogs in standardized formats and transfer them to their customers. Eventually the receiving enterprises import the data into e-market places and e-procurement systems. In both cases a transformation of relational d...
متن کاملCOSIMA – Sales Automation for E-Procurement
E-procurement is one of the fastest growing application areas for e-commerce. Though B2B transaction costs could be reduced recently by establishing XML based standards for electronic product catalogs and data interchange, B2B sales costs are still high due to the amount of human interaction. For the first time we present a fully automated electronic sales agent for e-procurement portals. The k...
متن کاملAdaptive Evaluation Techniques for Querying XML-based E-Catalogs
The integration of electronic catalogs (eCatalogs) is one of the most important aspects for the successful deployment of electronic commerce systems, since they are usually the only communication channel between buyers and suppliers. In this paper, we propose an XML-based global eCatalog integration platform whose query model allows us to avoid the costly problem of finding rewritings for each ...

Electronic B2B marketplaces bring together many online suppliers and buyers, each of which can potentially use their own format to represent the products in his product catalog. To mediate the participants the marketplaces have to perform nontrivial mappings of these catalog formats. In this paper we analyze the problems, which occur in defining mapping rules able to translate between these for...
