A Semantically Enriched E-Tendering Mechanism
نویسنده
چکیده
E-tendering is widely used in corporate and government purchasing in e-business practice. Existing etendering platforms cannot solve semantic interoperability problems between heterogeneous e-tendering systems. This paper proposes a novel semantic-enriched e-tendering (SEET) approach, which enables heterogeneous e-tendering systems to be semantically connected and interoperable by applying collaborative conceptualization theory. Based on this approach, a SEET platform is implemented and guarantees that e-tender inviters and e-tender bidders can exchange their e-tendering documents in a semantically consistent manner. Keywords-electronic tenderring; tender; inviter; bid, bidder; semantic interoperability; semantic heterogeneity; semantic consistency; e-tendering document; document engineering

A Fair e-Tendering Protocol
Fairness in electronic tendering is of utmost importance. Current proposals and implementations do not provide fairness and are vulnerable to collusion and favouritism. Dishonest participants, either the principal or tenderer can collude to alter or view competing tenders which would give the favoured tenderer a greater chance of winning the contract. This paper proposes an e-tendering system t...
متن کاملSecure E-Tendering Using Identity Based Encryption from Bilinear Pairings
An electronic tender system (e-tender) streamlines the tender process and thereby saves time and cost. Security requirements for e-tendering systems have not been closely scrutinized in the literature. In addition to the security concerns of conventional e-tender systems—authentication, integrity, privacy, and non-repudiation are provided. This paper identifies key issues to be addressed in the...
متن کاملManaging Multimodal and Multilingual Semantic Content
With the advent and increasing popularity of Semantic Wikis and the Linked Data the management of semantically represented knowledge became mainstream. However, certain categories of semantically enriched content, such as multimodal documents as well as multilingual textual resources are still difficult to handle. In this paper, we present a comprehensive strategy for managing the life-cycle of...

متن کاملDefining Security Services for Electronic Tendering
A major step is required to integrate critical legal requirements into e-tendering system design. The current systems using ad-hoc security mechanisms do not meet the legal requirements for forming a complex electronic contract. This paper analyses the etendering process and its legal obligations. The mapping of these obligations to security policies has identified a set of essential security s...
