An Analysis of B2B Catalogue Integration Problems.
Borys Omelayenko, Dieter Fensel · 2001
: Content Management becomes a cornerstone of successful B2B electronic commerce. The B2B players use different document standards to represent their business documents, and different content standards to specify the products. Thousands of the players meet together at B2B marketplaces, and the marketplaces must be able to integrate numerous document and content standards. The large number of the standards and their significant complexity make the integration problems non-trivial and require development of special integration architecture. In the present paper we discuss the tasks and the problems which occur during the content and document integration, and survey possible solutions and available techniques. 1.
