Abstract
The paper presents
an approach towards executing transactions between enterprises, governmental
bodies and banking institutions, based on ERP applications connected over the
Internet. Our work builds on a review
of current and evolving XML standards for representing business processes and
data (e.g. ebXML, UN/EDIFACT, RosettaNet) as well as standards for the
technological deployment of such solutions (CORBA, .net, J2EE). Next, using proven enterprise modeling
methodologies, we specify and formally describe key inter-enterprise
transactional processes. In addition,
we define application-neutral protocols,
electronic data formats, and messages for interoperating applications. Finally,
we develop a server-based system for managing electronic transactions, such as
e-invoicing, e-VAT, and e-payment.
