Publisher: Johnnyzhou Readings: 71 At the end of March 2001, in early April, the field of e-commerce presented a "standard battle spring". The e-commerce research center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the first initiator, CNXML declares its debut in the form of its alliance; Commerce ONE, global B2B e-commerce platform, has launched its e-commerce standards based on its e-commerce standard in cooperation. MarketPlace products; Beijing's Exclusive Open Company subsequently announced that the third-generation e-commerce platform (E-MarketPlace is representative of products), and the platform is dominated by ARIBA technology. It is well known that Commerce One and Ariba are "dead opponents" in the global e-commerce trading platform ... From the surface, various e-commerce platform products are connected to the two-wire show; from the bottom floor, it is a variety of standards to grab the Chinese market. Interestingly, all three different standards CNXML, XCBL, and CXML mentioned above are based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). The mysterious veil of XML was opened by "blowout". Some comments believe that XML will replace EDI to some extent, become a standard for data exchange between modern commercial agencies. Thus, on the basis of this language specification, the e-commerce trading language standard based on different business logic has introduced. Before the stage is behind the standard, it is not a standard in the interest, and there are more people, it will become a standard. But things are far away. What is the standard? A Tsai Jinrong, a Chinese Tax Society attending the Hangzhou Conference, pointed out that the standard is actually nothing, the rules of the game. The key is the authority of standards and market recognition; and standard small is related to the departure of enterprises, which affects the interests of the country. Since the standard has a first advantage. When a product technology is accepted by the market, the "standard" is both true. At this time, the standard occupant may become a market monopoly, and the standard promotion means the expansion of the market share. Microsoft unified desktop standard is illustration. The CEO of the Hangzhou Conference 8848 took an example of the standard of modern commercial society. A Chinese child is sent to the American kindergarten. Although it is very strong, even though the voice is very large, he will not speak English means cold. Of course, soon, this Chinese child learned to communicate in English. This is the standard power! In commercial society, standards are the foundation of business partners, and the smooth collaboration with business partners means the source of profit. Since the current e-commerce is mainly an e-commerce based on web providing information and E-mail communication, business information must be cumbersome to input and data conversion to incorporate the company's information management system. This has a number of "fault zones" in the business process, which is not essentially different from "traditional business" based on telephone and fax. From the level of hardware facilities, it is basically possible to meet the needs of data interaction between enterprises, and the information management and reception issuance system has also achieved considerable level, and the fundamental obstacles of e-commerce between enterprises are lacking unified data standards. As the third-generation e-commerce E-MarketPlace product provider, 8848 standing at the forefront of the data exchange of e-commerce transactions, the demand for standards is the first to the CNXML, so the reaction of CNXML is very positive. In the absence of the National Technical Supervision Bureau, CNXML developers - Director of the Software Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in his speech, showed the theme of "Standards and Normalization of China 's E-Commerce - CNML". Sensitive people also discovered that the authority of China's standards - National Technical Supervision Bureau did not participate. The formation of general standards has three ways: authority recognition, technology development and market choice. The authority of national standards is indispensable in China. The absence of the National Technical Quality Supervision Bureau seems to prove that it does not form a tacit understanding in the standard issue with the Subjective E-commerce Research Center.
But "Hai Zi Di" Li Anzhen did not think about it. Li In 1993, he won a Ph.D. in motor engineering from Stanford, USA, which was held in HP, SGI, AMDAHL and LSI Logic. He himself founded in 1999 with Interaware with Nasdaq, the company's market value increased to $ 100 million. Li He insisted that the standards developed by the State Technical Quality Supervision Bureau did not conflict with them, and the jurisdiction of the National Technical Supervision Bureau was the relevant aspects of metrology and quality. Li believes that the national standard focuses on product coding, and language norms as industrial standards have never been market standards. As an authoritative institution of domestic e-commerce standards - E-commerce system Special Technical Committee, under the Ministry of National Technical Supervision and Information Industry. Wu Zhigang, Secretary-General of the Committee, talked about the interview, they will continue to coordinate, try to avoid mutual contradiction. After all, CNXML is an earlier attempt and exploration of XML in China. They also want to absorb the results of CNXML and become part of the national standard. Wu believes that Li's slogan "Creating China's e-commerce standard" is just its words. The real national standard should be promulgated by the National Technical Quality Supervision Bureau, and industry standards are developed by the industry executive. Li's practice is Yue Dynasty, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences cannot represent the country. The worry of Hangzhou and experts on the future of CNXML is not reasonable. The practice of Li is the standard formation method of the West - practical industrial standards, the choice of market determines the standardization of standards, and the market share represents the authority of the standard. In China, the standards of e-commerce are not only applied in the information industry, but also involves integrated management between the national sectors. The standard development does not rely on the authority of the administrative, complete the road to the market, and the future is not. Author: Luo Qiaoxin Source:
