中文摘要
由於網路與資訊科技的快速應用發展，整體企業系統日趨龐大複雜，又企業間彼此系統與訊息架構定義的不同，增加企業間交易電子化的困難度。但是面對快速市場變化，作業模式的改變及全球的競爭壓力。整合供應鏈中企業與企業間的作業流程，提昇整個供應鏈體系的競爭力與效率，是一條必行之路。因此本研究以產業供應鏈電子化交易為題，發展網際網路化企業間整合之電子交易運籌平台架構及示範系統，以標準化的中介系統架構與分散式物件等技術，將異質平台間之應用程式做安全且有效率的整合。使得公司間異質系統可以相互溝通，不再需要透過人為處理作業，直接以系統與系統間之電子訊息傳遞，縮短整個交易資訊處理流程與時間，並降低中小企業進入的門檻，讓整個產業的交易運作更加迅速進行。對於供應鏈中，交易伙伴間在資訊上的互動，目前已有較成熟的電子資料交換技術如XML及相關應用架構如RosettaNet, ebXML等，而網路服務架構(Web Service)是新興的互動概念，也是本論文未來所採用的互動模式。本平台架構包括三個模組，其為安全性訊息傳輸模組，元件式為基之資料與流程映射模組，以及Hub中心註冊模組。安全性訊息傳輸模組可使各廠商迅速的透過網際網路傳輸資訊，經由呼叫元件式為基之XSLT資料轉換模組在OAGIS、RosettaNet、SPEC2000及相關ERP系統特定XML之格式間準確的進行轉換。在此過程中以BPSS(Business Process Specification Schema)為流程整合傳輸協定，並運用Java技術來開發工作流程的核心運作邏輯，以達成建構程序化工作流程，使交易資料可在供應鏈體系中迅速合理的處理與交換。
本研究探討供應鏈在採購及運籌電子化之作業模式、企業應用程式整合概念下的整體資訊傳遞、企業流程運作模式。為了提供足夠的資訊給客戶，並考量客戶的現有資訊系統，利用XML相關技術及網路服務架構，設計與建構出整合供應鏈上下游的訂單處理與作業資訊提供系統互動架構，同時，以企業內外流程之即時化、自動化串接為目標，實作出整體資訊架構，期能為供應鏈體系帶來更大的效益。

ABSTRACT
The broad adaptation of e-commerce (EC) and information technologies (IT) in business applications has created fierce competition across industries. Many enterprises use a diversity of information systems to support their organizational business processes. This diversity of heterogeneous and incompatible systems often results in the absence of integrated inter-enterprise information architecture. Heterogeneous systems cannot exchange information without considerable manual operations. To operate across organizational boundaries, organizations must fully understand the ways that their business partners do businesses and the documents they used for business transactions. Thus, they can utilize XML as the practical foundation for structuring the information to be interchanged in both process and data levels. Today, there are many de facto XML initiatives for vertical or horizontal B2Bi XML standards, such as OAGIS, ebXML, RosettaNet, and Spec2000. The diversity of XML formats still causes difficulty in facilitating XML-based data exchanges. In order to keep up with the global supply chain integration, companies must have the capabilities to handle multiple XML formats and its versions. This research designs a generic XML hub architecture for B2B data interchange services. The main functions of XML hub prototype include registry, mapping and exchange services. In the XML-Hub, using the Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS) as the kernel of workflow management is developed for real-time process controlling across the inter-enterprises. A prototype is implemented with the real cases in the aerospace supply chain integration and logistic maintenance service. The key contribution of the research is the provision of affordable XML-Hub solution using the most current technologies for communicating different kinds of XML standards in an unified platform including process and data levels. By providing a comprehensive set of XML-Hub functions, it gives enterprises the ability to move towards complete business process integration.
Keywords: Business-to-Business Integration (B2Bi), eHub, eXtended Markup Language (XML), XML Schema, XSLT.
