隨著電子商務的蓬勃發展，World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)於1998年發表了XML 1.0的標準。因為XML的相容能力，XML隨即廣泛的被利用在電子商務的應用上，並有取代Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)的態勢。在產業應用上，發表了不少的延伸標準如RossettaNET、HL7、OAGIS等等。然而多元的標準增加電子商務上資料交換的困難性，企業可能必須導入多個XML產業標準，才能有效的對所有的交易伙伴進行電子商務的交易。本論文的目的即在探討建立一個可行的XML文件交換機制，以集中式的交換平台配合網路化的註冊與文件對應服務，提供一個易於導入之XML為基、開放性的電子資料交換環境，以減少企業（尤其中小企業）對XML文件交換的負荷與成本，一些跨產業的XML交易標準（如ebXML）可用來加強整個平台的完整性。此研究之基本步驟為首先建立一個以XML為基的資料交換中心，藉由一份中間文件標準，將所有相關的文件經由此標準更容易的轉換為其他的格式，以提供企業文件轉換的服務，更進一步的，為完備這樣的交換環境，藉由線上註冊服務，企業可以提供相關的必須文件與資訊給外部的交易伙伴，並可成為文件交換中心的成員。另外線上文件對應的服務則提供一個快速導入的介面，藉由XML schema的拆解，並提供多種對應的方法，讓使用者可以簡易的把自己的文件對應到中間文件標準，並自動產生XSLT來快速、重覆的轉換XML文件，使整個架構更具體的實現成為一個完善的、開放性的電子交易的平台。

In 1998, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) suggested Extensible Markup Language (XML) specification 1.0 as a kind of markup language standard designed for the Internet. From then on, XML, with its interoperability, has been introduced to e-Business. As it turns out, XML is likely to replace Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as a new data interchange standard. However, since many extended industrial XML specifications, including vertical and horizontal industrial standards such as RossettaNet, HL7 and OAGIS, are published, the diversity of XML formats increases the difficulty in XML-based data exchange. Companies may have to introduce several XML extended industrial standards at the same time to facilitate e-Business. This action leads to growing efforts in translating various XML-based business documents and increasing complexity involving e-Business. In order to solve these problems, the purpose of the thesis is to study a methodology that can provide enterprises with an easily-introduced environment for XML-based data exchange by using an “any-to-any” and open XML-based data exchange framework, combined with web-based registry and mapping services. Moreover, the specifications of horizontal standards, such as ebXML, are introduced to reinforce the completeness. The steps are as follows. Firstly, in the “any-to-any” translation, an intermediary standard is chosen for reducing the frequency of translation. As a result, the formats of business documents can be translated into other formats via the intermediary standard. Secondly, registry services allow companies to participate in trading groups, and share their business process and information with external trading partners. Thirdly, mapping services allow users to easily map their business documents to an intermediary standard by parsing XML schemata and providing various mapping methods. As such, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) can be generated automatically for quick and repeated translation, and the structure can be integrated as a public e-Business framework with registry, mapping, and exchange services.
