Recently, many companies and consumers are using Internet to sell and buy goods and manage their businesses. And for most companies, they have Electronic Commerce system and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. But the two systems manage separately and the data are not integrative. So it is hard to mangement the system alike and the costs may be higher than the system which has intergrated information. ebXML-based Electronic Catalog (e-Catalog) can provide intergrated information. In this paper, we took a manufacturing industry company for example. We planned to construct the e-Catalog System, analyze the products of the company as well as design e-Catalog system using ebXML to connect EC with ERPs.

The population of consumers who purchase goods through electronic commerce(EC) is increasing due In the advance of Internet. They can purchase goods freely without time and space restriction and can have variety of choices of goods. Now most of e-Catalogs rely on the simple texts or images to present information on goods. As such, there is limitation in describing goods in detail, which might not make consumers interested in those goods. To solve the problem, more advanced e-Catalogs are demanded compared with the existing ones, requiring research on the e-Catalog authoring techniques that utilize dynamic multimedia data such as audios or videos in addition to the conventional texts and images. In this paper, we describe development of an e-Catalog authoring tnol that is based on SMIL(Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) which is one of XML applications.

We proposed electronic catalog document structure which can process information of goods configurationally and electronic catalog standard format to support various catalog document format and structure. using XML. We designed and implemented electronic catalog system that can use by user who takes part in the transaction the electronic catalog document defined in electronic commerce integration style. This system was advantageous in getting useful information as it was having a common electronic catalog document for all business transactions using interoperability of the Web Services.

At present, the electronic catalog format and the process system which are used in B2B (Business-To-Business) electronic commerce are applying different system architectures according to their businesses and industries characteristics. B2B business corporations using the electronic commerce started to consider the importance of standard electronic catalog format to enhance their interoperability. As a result, the necessity of unified electronic catalog system gathered strength in exchanging and managing enormous information of electronic catalog process system constructed in each corporation and industry. Therefore, we suggest data format to improve interoperability using XML (eXtensible Markup Language), as a standard document format in electronic catalog document and define the structure of electronic catalog document in processing the information of goods using XML Schema. In addition, we presents the integrated electronic catalog registry system which provides the service of searching and registering using the electronic catalog document defined through XML for each corporation to use it in electronic marketplace. Furthermore, we exhibits a model of the electronic catalog document that improves its interoperability and reusability in electronic commerce and a model of integrated electronic catalog system.

A clearly defined e-catalog (or product) information is a key foundation for an e-commerce system. A classification (or categorization) is a core information to build clear e-catalogs, can play an important role in quality of e-commerce systems using e-catalogs. However, as the wide use of online business transactions, the volume of e-catalog information that needs to be managed in a system has become drastically large, and the classification task of such data has become highly complex. In this paper, we present an e-catalog classifier system, and report on our effort to improve an e-catalog management process and to standardize e-catalogs for enterprises by use of automated approach for e-catalog classifier systems. Also we introduce some of the issues that we have experienced in the projects, so that our work may help those who do a similar project in the future.

Today in Korea, various types of B2B or B2C businesses are carried out on the Internet and the catalog information is the molt important factor to make customers purchase the product. However, no case can be found where information is shared between the business partners, more specifically, each catalog supplier possesses data that are incompatible with others. Though the e-business market has rapidly expanded, it is still difficult for businesses to attract buyers unless an integrated system is provided for more fast and convenient B2B businesses. Such a systematic and integrated catalog system is highly demanded along with current database management system Therefore, this study suggests the E-Catalog system consists of a fixed and standardized catalog system offering product information and a network-based architecture offering products to customers through a search system. The proposed system also supports CRM (Customer Relation Management).

Electronic catalog is a kind of electronic document to exchange product and service data for B2B or B2C EC(electronic commerce). Up to date a lot of selution/service providers which develop EC systems such as shopping malls, have constructed electronic catalogs. However, they use different contents, formats, and exchange methods without a standardized concept and consistent definition of components. This causes problems that time and cost to develop catalogs are duplicated and data exchange across e-marketplaces is difficult. In order to resolve these problems, standardization works for electronic catalog are carried out inside and outside the country. In this paper, we introduce types of standards concerned with electronic catalog, trends of standardization activities, and domestic standardization activities by industry such as electronics, automobile, shipbuilding, heavy industry, steel, electricity, construction, distribution, biomedical, and textile.

As electronic commerce becomes more common and the data volume of e-catalog increases, a systematic approach to data quality management is being required. Upon the necessity, we propose a process-based framework for e-catalog data quality management. This is the methodology for data management and improvement activities continuously performed to satisfy the expectation of industry to e-catalog systems. In the framework, contents for quality management consist of data, quality management items, and quality management processes. These are again subdivided according to organization levels, i.e, user, data administrator, and chief information officer.

There are two types of mold parts, ready-made standard parts and ETO (Engineered-to-Order) parts, the latter are of increasing importance to manufacturers. However, the ETO parts require more engineering support and communication than the ready-made standard parts. Existing e-Catalog modules provide classification structures of products that allow customers to select products based on their needs, and the trade begins with the provided specification. However, machine parts or mold parts have different purchasing patterns. Customers do not purchase the ready-made standard parts offered by an e-Catalog. They usually (1) add own options to the provided specifications or (2) change specification items such as length. To support these trades, a new e-Catalog system is proposed. The proposed system is based on the product design process and the specification selection process in addition to the parts classification structure.
