Abstract :
Collaborative B2B e-commerce provides enterprises with the necessary level of flexibility and efficiency to retain competitiveness under the increasingly turbulent business environment. Widely accepted XML-based frameworks like RosettaNet may be utilized to provide generic inter-enterprise B2B infrastructure. This paper presents an innovative approach towards utilizing RosettaNet in combination with Web services, ontologies and workflow management systems for the enforcement of the continuous replenishment planning process.
