Supply-chain applications exchange numerous electronic business-to-business (B2B) messages of varied types. Traditionally, prior to a message exchange, partners adopt one particular message specification that constrains message structure and syntax to implement compatible application message interfaces. However, in open, dynamic supply-chains, the applications need to interact even though their message interfaces are based on different, yet incompatible message specifications. To achieve such interactions, we propose the Message Metamodel-based semantic reconciliation of B2B messages. The Message Metamodel is a novel, ontological form that provides for common representation of B2B message specifications and messages of various syntaxes, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The experimental investigation showed that proposed semantic reconciliation architecture built atop the Message Metamodel (1) insulates the reconciliation activities from the specific message syntaxes, (2) supports the reconciliation of messages irrespective of message standards used, and (3) enables seamless interoperable message exchange between heterogeneous supply-chain applications.

The purpose of this article is to describe the shift of business-to-business trading from Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to extranets and to discuss some of the internal con-trol challenges created by extranets and the eXtensible Markup Language (XML). This technology raises internal control issues because extranets use the World Wide Web to communicate and because XML is such a powerful and flexible programming language.

This chapter provides an overview on the use of business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce by Singapore companies as a means of streamlining their procurement and transportation activities. Specifically, it addresses how Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Internet have proliferated in Singapore from 1990 to the present, and the efforts needed to sustain its growth. Challenges in implementing B2B eCommerce in procurement and transportation are also discussed, so that companies can avoid similar pitfalls when planning to implement these technologies with their business partners.

[Id]Industri manufaktur merupakan jenis industri yang bisa dikatakan mustahil bisa berjalan tanpa keberadaan dan kolaborasi dengan industri-industri manufaktur lainnya. Sebuah perusahaan manufaktur tidak bisa dikatakan berperan sebagai produsen atau sebagai konsumen saja, karena perusahaan-perusahaan itu secara umum ikut berperan dalam kegiatan hulu hingga hilir dalam sistem manufaktur. Business to Business (B2B) adalah model perniagaan yang berlaku pada industri manufaktur. Perusahaan berkolaborasi membentuk rantai pasokan (supply chain) dan bersimbiosis untuk menjamin ketersediaan bahan baku dan ketersediaan pembeli dari hasil produksi mereka. Teknologi informasi dapat berperan penting dalam masalah pengelolaan informasi antar perusahaan dalam siklus rantai pasokan. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) merupakan sebuah mekanisme pertukaran data secara elektronis antara pembeli dan penjual didalam sebuah siklus rantai pasokan. Didalam implementasinya, EDI diterjemahkan dalam beberapa model dan bentuk yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan perusahaan dan partner rantai pasokannya, sehingga perlu ditemukan formulasi yang standar mengenai bagaimana EDI diterapkan secara umum di industri manufaktur global. Didalam paper ini, akan dilakukan kajian mengenai bagaimana EDI berperan dalam pengelolaan rantai pasokan di industri manufaktur beserta model EDI yang telah diterapkan. Sehingga didapatkan gambaran mengenai standarisasi dari EDI dalam industri manufaktur.[En]Manufacturing industry is a kind of industry that can be said to be impossible to run without existence and collaboration with other manufacturing industries. A manufacturing company can not be said to play a role as a producer or as a consumer, as they generally play a role in upstream to downstream activities in the manufacturing system. Business to Business (B2B) is a commercial model applicable to the manufacturing industry. The company collaborates to form a supply chain and is symbiotic to ensure the availability of raw materials and the availability of buyers from their produce. Information technology can play an important role in the problem of information management between firms in the supply chain cycle. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is an electronic data exchange mechanism between buyers and sellers within a supply chain cycle. In its implementation, EDI is translated into several models and forms tailored to the needs of the company and its supply chain partners, so there is a need to find a standardized formulation of how EDI is generally applied in the global manufacturing industry. In this paper, a review of how EDI will play a role in supply chain management in the manufacturing industry and the EDI model that has been implemented. So we get a picture about the standardization of EDI in the manufacturing industry.

Information systems that link businesses for the purpose of inter-organizational transfer of business transaction information (inter-organizational information systems, or IOIS) have been in use since the 1970s (Lankford & Riggs, 1996). Early systems relied on private networks, using electronic data interchange (EDI) or United Nations EDIFACT standards for format and content of transaction messages. Due to their cost and complexity, the use of these systems was confined primarily to large companies, but low-cost Internet commercialization has led to much more widespread adoption of IOIS. Systems using the Internet and the World Wide Web are commonly referred to as B2B (business-to-business) systems, supporting B2B electronic commerce.

Technological advances have been encountered by managers continually over the years. electronic data interchange system (EDI), extensible markup language (XML), e-mail, the Internet, and e-commerce are just a few that have contributed to the proliferation of new business applications in companies. This article focuses on customer relationship management (CRM) e-commerce applications. Customer relations are an important aspect of the success of any business. By strengthening relationships with customers, a company ultimately can gain a more loyal customer base, further strengthen its brand recognition, and help customers distinguish a company’s product from those of the competition.
