Maritime Information Integration Based on RFID Middleware

To meet the actual demand of maritime container transportation and management, an information integration model and sharing mechanism based on RFID middleware is proposed by analyzing maritime multivariate data heterogeneity. The model consists of maritime supply chain RFID middleware model, RFID middleware integrated model, XML data exchange interface and XML-based information exchange. XML is defined as the basis for data integration and information exchange data solution. The paper deals particularly with the marine enterprise information exchange based on XML and achieve a significant performance improvement over state-of-the-art information exchange model.
