“…During the first six months of operation, the implementation showed that manual order processing was reduced by 93-95%, the inventory turnover rate was doubled, the order response time was reduced from 8-10 hours to two hours for exceptions requiring human intervention and less that 20 minutes for non-exceptions. Buxmann et al (2002) present a prototype that uses XML to describe and structure business documents. It enables translations between different vocabularies, as well as put-and-get processes.…”

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 standardize the use of XML technologies in e-Business frameworks. We have analysed 23 e-Business frameworks to identify their basic features and to categorize 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.

“…Several tools such as SISCO and SIMPLEX have been developed to facilitate the smooth operation in the supply chain. SISCO (Chatfield and Harrison 2001) is a Java-based tool developed for simplifying supply chain simulation model development, whereas SIMPLEX (Buxmann et al 2001) is a Java-based prototype for displaying, describing, exchanging, converting and integrating XML documents between partners in a supply chain network. Collaborative-commerce (C-commerce) is proposed (Rayson 2001) for allowing customers and diverse members of the supply chain to collaboratively design, build, market and deploy product and service by means of web technology to access and manipulate the critical information to target persons.…”

In today's increasingly competitive environment, companies are experiencing growing pressures to reduce the product development lead-time to meet market expectations. The motivation of this research is to automate product development process and enhance product data management systems for capturing the critical information to support decision-making, thereby supporting responsive product development. In this research, a systematic approach based on the deployment of extensible mark-up language incorporated with object technology to form a novel interface between knowledge-based system and relational database system is proposed. The significance of this research is the provision of a cross-platform data exchange system that is able to facilitate the creation of a conducive product development environment to support design agility. A pilot implementation of an integrated system has been conducted in a Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer for examining the effectiveness of distributing information in heterogeneous environments and the capability of transforming data to useful information, which is vital for manufacturers in maintaining their competitiveness.

“…This transformation can be done without changing the original data in any way. So is it possible to create as many different visualizations of one document as the user needs [3]. This prototype, uses XML to describe and structure business documents like invoices, purchase orders, order entries, forecasts, reports, monitoring transactions, etc [3].…”

“…So is it possible to create as many different visualizations of one document as the user needs [3]. This prototype, uses XML to describe and structure business documents like invoices, purchase orders, order entries, forecasts, reports, monitoring transactions, etc [3]. With these XMLformatted documents, the application supports the execution of pull and push information processes, the conversion between different XML vocabularies, and the integration into in-housesystems.…”

For this purpose, we concentrate on the problem of converting different data formats and examine alternative approaches for solving the conversion problem, which could enable cooperating organizations to use XML as a common fundamental language, building upon it different business vocabularies, which best meet their specific requirements, without loosing compatibility.…”

Information exchange processes are often characterized by the need of translating from one data format into another in order to achieve compatibility between information systems. A conversion problem often arises when exchanging files between applications of different software vendors or when incorporating legacy business data into new standard software. In this paper we want to survey the conversion problem in the field of multi-organizational networks, since participants often use different data formats. We examine, to what extent XML is able to support the interorganizational exchange of business documents. Thereby, we concentrate on the problem of converting different data and examine different appmacbes for solving the transformation problem. We show how XML can actually be implemented for a Web-based integration in multi-organizational networks. Moreover, we present a java-based prototype that enables document exchange over the Intemet using XML business vocabularies for document representation, XSLT for document conversion and presentation, and both DOM and SAX for processing and integrating documents into in-house-systems.
