What happens if a hundred different companies create their own schemas to describe an invoice? The schemas may contain the same elements, but each schema will use different element names. For example, all invoices will have invoice numbers, but the element names for invoice numbers may be called lnvNum, InvNo, InvoiceNo, or InvoiceNum. A hundred different XML documents will be created. It is difficult to share these documents among companies. If each business partner uses his or her own schema, we need to write a different program to work with each XML document. Clearly, we do not want to do that. We want every partner to use the same structure. The example we just described illustrates that we need for a framework for standard industry schemas. The xCBL document framework provides schemas that all eMarketplace participants can understand, so all businesses can easily exchange business documents across e-marketplaces. This research study concerns automatic xCBL document exchange. A prototype has been developed to show some xCBL documents between buyer and supplier using the automobile B2B Marketplace web site.
