Several e-business frameworks are developed to define standards for information sharing within and between companies. These frameworks only standardize structure of messages and aren´t able to define semantics. It leads to slow and costly dynamic Business-to-Business (B2B) integration. The use of Semantic Web Service (SWS) technologies has been suggested to enable more dynamic B2B integration of heterogeneous systems and partners. We present a semantic B2B mediator based on the WSMX-a SWS execution environment, to tackle heterogeneities in B2B services. We particularly show how WSMX can be made to support the RosettaNet e-business framework and how it can add dynamics to B2B interactions by automating mediation of heterogeneous messages. We used a reasoner in interaction with WSMX for automatic consistency checking of instances in runtime. The benefits of applying SWS technologies include more flexibility in accepting heterogeneity in B2B integrations and easing back-end integrations. This allows introducing more competition into the purchasing process within e-business frameworks.
