Boyi Xu, Lihong Jiang, Fanyuan Ma · 2005
XML-based cnXML is an new e-business specification developed in China. cnXML defines the technical standard, data interchange protocol and the business processes of the B to B e-business. A primary objective of cnXML is to lower the barrier of entry to e-business, particularly with respect to small and medium -sized enterprises in China. In this paper, we gave a brief overview of the development of electronic business standards and compared the current e-business standards with traditional EDI. Then we put forward the rationales of design cnXML. Finally we investigate the characteristics and application of cnXML.
