A review of XML-based supply chain integration
نویسنده
چکیده
Several initiatives support supply chain integration by using Extensible Markup Language (XML). We study the main XML technologies to accomplish the integration. The basic XML technologies enable straightforward exchange of data as XML documents between the trading partners in a supply chain. We clarify the motivation to standardise the use of XML technologies in e-business frameworks. We have analysed 23 e-business frameworks to identify their basic features and to categorise them. A comparison is made between eight important frameworks. The paper also discusses experiences from XML-based supply chain integration. The existing experiences are limited and comparison with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is not simple. A shared understanding of business documents and business processes is necessary for supply chain integration, and XML technologies alone do not solve all these issues.
