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.

e-Catalog is defined as an electronically-described production information on the Web that includes various features of products and enables the customer interaction. Therefore the system is constructed with the database of all the information regarding manufacturing processes, order, cost, delivery. etc. The display of the e-Catalog is preferred to be 3 dimensional animated images in order to impress the customers. This work optimizes the 3D image conversion process from the design data to the e-Catalog data of products and automates the conversion process such that the human intervention can be minimized. The e-Catalog of electronic appliances are discussed as examples.

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.

As growing the electronic commerce there are significant changes in the products/services catalog into the on-line environment. Advertent of e-catalog business opportunity for their own product/services enlarges the market volume and there are diverse methods for the presentation of its product/services. A method for the presentation of product/services features one uses identification and classification system. This study constructs a classification system and database layout for the product/services classification system as a part of e-catalog system. We consider the specific method for the GDAS-based dataset and UNSPSC classification system in the distribution industry.

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.

The e-Marketplace is growing rapidly and providing a more complex relationship between providers and consumers. In recent years, e-Marketplace integration or cooperation issues have become an important issue in e-Business. The e-Catalog is a key factor in e-Business, which means an e-Catalog System needs to contain more large data and requires a more efficient retrieval system. This paper focuses on designing an efficient retrieval system for very large e-Catalogs of large e-Marketplaces. For this reason, a new similarity measure for e-Catalog retrieval based on semantic relationships was proposed. Our achievement is this: first, a new e-Catalog data model based on semantic relationships was designed. Second, the model was extended by considering lexical features (Especially, focus on Korean). Third, the factors affecting similarity with the model was defined. Fourth, from the factors, we finally defined a new similarity measure, realized the system and verified it through experimentation.

Plant, civil engineering and construction equipment data of overseas construction are obtained and then analyzed, classified and integrated by experts. With those refined data set, we built classification system and defined property information with reference to international standard (ISO 15926, IRDL). If class in ISO 15926 is predefined for equipment of interest, we used the class as is. If not, we created and defined new classes on the basis of ISO 15926 classes. If there is similar class for equipment of interest, extension or inheritance methods were used. As a result, classification system of five levels and 637 classes were built and construction equipment information were expressed in open structure of XML such as tree structure of classification system and detailed information with number equipments for each specific equipment. We also developed the electronic catalog system which is basically equipment information management system providing various product search functions.

현재 B2B 및 B2C 등 다양한 형태의 비즈니스가 진행되고 있으며 여기서 카탈로그 정보는 구매의사를 결정짓는 가장 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 현재 각 기업이 보유하고 있는 웹 카탈로그 정보는 상호 이질적인 구조를 지니고 있으며 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 기존의 데이터베이스 관리 시스템과 연동하여 플랫폼 독립적이고 이질의 데이터을 통합 및 저장, 관리할 수 있는 시스템의 구축이 필요하다. 본 논문은 B2B 사이에 이루어지는 e-Business를 효율적으로 운영하기 위해 Catalog DB Module, Catalog Management Module. Interface Module로 구성된 개선된 통합 E-Catalog 시스템을 개발하여 상거래의 상호 이질적인 카탈로그 정보에 따른 상호 연동성 문제점을 해결하고 전체상품에 대한 View 정보, 실시간 업데이트, 확장성 및 유연성을 제공하고자 한다.

XML(eXtensible Markup Language) based electronic catalog is very useful for searching target information because of its structural and contents based searching support capability. And XML document editing is easier than HTML because of XML document is divided by structure, contents and presentation. This paper is to present a prototype of XML based Electronic Catalog Management System(ECMS) whose system consists of data input, output and manipulation system for inserting, updating, editing and deletion. A proposed system could resolved the problems at virtual intermediary shopping mall invloved in the difficulty of interoperability when customer try to compare similar products at mixed shopping mall and reduced web service costs at independent shopping mall by using XML format. The proposed ECMS offers rapid response capability for product data change of electronic catalog and easy and friendly interoperability among similar products.
