Publisher: johnnyzhou Readings: 54 CNXML Soft Ribs In the introduction of CNXML features, Li said that CNXML's goal is based on XML technology to establish an e-commerce language specification in line with Chinese mainland business habits, traditions. However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences software is not trade, the Chinese business management and trade processes are the weakness of Li. Despite the explanation of Li, they cooperated with the "Enterprise Management Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", with strong EDI experience. Regarding the current business standard generation, Wu Zhigang introduced that the trade process should be described by the General Modeling Language (URL), and then take the application layer to the bottom layer, one layer is peeled off, and the data of the final abstract order is indicated. At present, Li is mostly technical expert, member of the CNXML Alliance 8848, Lenovo Shenzhou Digital, Founder Digital, UF Software Group, mainly a third-party solution for IT industry. So who will provide representative enterprise raw data? Where is the universal data demand for users? my country's specific situation is that the market is large, the application level is uneven, the industry, the segmentation of the department is divided, and the development standard requires unified coordination and leaders. Especially the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Customs and other government management departments, they all have their own data needs. As a scientific research unit, the Chinese Academy of Sciences lacks sufficient authority to obtain the data needs of all parties, and there is no ability to coordinate the interests of all parties. This is a real problem and the soft rib of CNXml. According to Li, CNXML is primarily implemented through the Technology Department 863 project. For the difficulties in the promotion process of government departments such as the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Customs, Li has no concealed. The attitude of the industry authorities is basically identifying this standard, but they are currently paying attention to their internal business electronics, and there is no communication and coordination between sectors. Li hopes to promote the promotion of CNXML relying on the demonstration project of certain industries. Beginning in 1991, EDI's concept and technology introduced my country. Under the promotion of China Electronic Data Exchange Committee (CEC), it has finally formed China's EDI standardization system. Wu Zhigang, who started to participate in China in 1993, known the depth of domestic unified standards. "Dialect" and "Diagon" XML have brought out an excellent way to resolve standard issues, and various technical specifications established on the basis of XML technology have been introduced. Take an unfinterect alteration, CNXML is "dialect" that reflects geographical characteristics, and CXML, BizTalk, Rosetta, etc. are based on "strong" enterprises or their product applications based on industry-based "jaices". "Dialect" is intertwined with "Draw", forming a situation in which e-commerce standards are confusing. Take more common standard RosettaTanet in electronic components and computer manufacturers. In fact, this standard prototype is the data exchange of Intel e-commerce. Since Intel has actually a monopoly in the chip manufacturing industry, in order to participate in the operation of the industry chain, it consciously uses Intel's standards. When this standard has developed to a certain stage, it is necessary to establish alliances, IBM, HP and other IT manufacturers, and actively participate in the formulation of this standard, coordinate the interests of all parties. Thus, RosettaNet naturally forms the factual standard for the industry. The B2B e-commerce platform provider Commerce One claims that it has established 116 "Global Market Platform" (GMP) worldwide, these GMPs or in accordance with the region, national establishment, or to enterprises and industries. 65 GMPs are connected to a whole to form the "Global Trade Website" (GTW).
The GTW is fundamentally in the development of XML-based general business standard XCBL (Common Business Language), which is known, including more than 50 business circulation standards in the world, and supports multiple languages. So as an e-commerce platform, GTW has considerable automation and versatility. In an interview, Microsoft (China) did not express views on CNXML, but they believe that industry standards of e-commerce are more important than geographical standards. Industry expert analysis, the XML specification of e-commerce is more than just the issue involving XML technology itself, but more importantly, it is to combine the process and management methods of e-commerce. Therefore, when solving the e-commerce barriers to China, those international standards have exposed issues that do not meet the business habits and management characteristics of Chinese enterprises. For example, the concept of "triangle debt" is not in the international standard data description. Therefore, the original intention of the XML localization of Li Anzhen has certain truth. About this, Wu Zhigang is also recognized. However, the biggest risk of standard is that if it is closed, it will make an application on the standard to form an information. Therefore, it is currently an openness based on various standards based on XML. According to expert analysis, the openness of these standards is basically implemented in a "hard translation" manner by establishing a full-time mapped data converter in different data formats. In practical applications, companies' e-commerce objects are based on different criteria, which means that a data converter must be established corresponding to each standard. This will be a quite heavy development effort for a SME. If you are three different standards-based enterprises, you need to install 3 step -6 data converters, so on, this will mean the huge waste of IT investment. Therefore, XML-based e-commerce standards do have a "re-standardization" work, and if there is an e-commerce "standard standard", each standard simplifies data conversion only with the mapping relationship it establishes with it. Complexity, reducing waste. The emergence of EBXML is based on this purpose, and CNXML is also the same as this idea, I hope to establish China's "standard standard". EBXML must formally announce the XML framework in May this year - exploration of data exchange based on XML. EBXML will form a larger "standard database", while CNXML, CXML, ROSettaT and other standards are actually an application, define some specific rules, abstract into a subset, and become the H7 in the medical industry. WML is upgraded to the industry standard in XML. It is alleged that it is now joining the EBXML Alliance already supporters to reach nearly a thousand, including IT giants such as Microsoft, through the development of EBXML, "integration of ideas". EBXML specific idea is to set up a central database, including MatchData, such as the order format, which is proposed by various industrial associations, etc. In the e-commerce process, although it is based on different XML products, it can pass the Ebxml data center. It is to obtain the rules and protocols of the other party, and the data is converted again. But EBXML this idea, which has taken some questions: Who will operate and maintain the central database of EBXML? Is there a registration similar to NSI institutions, various XML standards in the central database? These problems will gradually be gradually made in the second half of this year. Standard help to achieve bream jump, for China's largest obstacle is not standard, but the company's own information level is very low. Different industries mean that standards are not the same meaning in China. But the standard has a special meaning for us. In this regard, Li Anzu has a very smart idea: on the basis of the standard, implementing the internal and external uniform informationization, avoiding the first internal, rear external, and finally the most standard communication of developed countries.
Taking European and American experiences as an example, general companies need to purchase two sets of ERP and e-commerce to meet the needs of internal management and external business informationization. With an average price, the investment of these two products takes 200,000. Li Pu has developed a solution based on CNXML information about SMEs, only cost of $ 100,000. The company information system established in unified e-commerce standards not only communicates data exchange between enterprises, but also realizes data seamless connection between different management systems within the enterprise. Of course, this means that the technical provider can extend from the original software products to other directions "smooth transition", 8848 can expand from corporate external transaction management software to the management of internal information systems, and the same, users can also be from enterprises The internal financial management system expands to external transaction management. This is the standard for our "post-development advantage." (Editor: Li Bo) Source:
