UWI.Com and Commerce One Partner with XML-Based E-Commerce
3/29/1999

UWI.Com, and Commerce One, announced a partnership that will integrate Commerce One's MarketSite and UWI.Com's InternetForms System, to streamline the supply chain and bring, XML-based e-commerce to all sizes of trading organizations. The integration allows a trading community's suppliers to interact with MarketSite using InternetForms, which provides simplified supplier integration into the MarketSite marketplace. Typically, suppliers are small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs) who still use costly channels such as paper, email, and fax to perform transactions with a MarketSite trading community. For example, historically a supplier has used email or fax to exchange catalog content updates, status updates, invoices, and purchase orders with its trading community, which were then manually entered into MarketSite. Soon, suppliers will be able to connect to a MarketSite trading community with a web browser, open an InternetForm (for example, a catalog content update), fill it out, sign it and submit it, facilitating e-commerce trading with the community and removing manual entry from the process. www.uwi.com, www.commerceone.com

Microsoft announces BizTalk
3/4/1999

Microsoft Corp. has announced Microsoft BizTalk, a new cross-platform e-commerce framework that makes it easy for businesses to integrate applications and conduct business over the Internet with trading partners and customers. The BizTalk framework is based on XML schemas and industry standards that enable integration across industries and between business systems, regardless of platform, operating system or underlying technology. Microsoft also announced plans to incorporate the BizTalk schema into the Microsoft Commerce Platform, initiatives for the MSN network for Internet services, and future versions of Office, the BackOffice family and Windows operating systems. BizTalk makes integrating software in an internal technology environment easier and more cost-effective. Because BizTalk is a cross-platform framework, it allows software to communicate between different common object models, programming languages or shared database schemas. BizTalk is designed to enable the integration of software so that businesses can immediately increase the efficiency of their internal business systems and take advantage of e-commerce while making optimal use of existing investments in hardware and software. Microsoft plans to host a design review of new BizTalk schemas with customers, industry vendors and industry consortia in the second half of 1999. The design review will be an open forum for providing input on the BizTalk framework and will result in the publishing of all current and future BizTalk protocols. All BizTalk documents, message handling protocols and service descriptions will be maintained on the Microsoft Web site as a public resource. For more information about BizTalk, see www.microsoft.com/presspass/commerce/

The specification that is created will be used to integrate the SAP Business-to-Business Procurement solution and the Microsoft Commerce Server.

Ricoh announces Open Source Framework for Web
3/2/1999

Ricoh Silicon Valley (RSV) announced an open source release of its Platform for Information Applications (PIA), a framework for the development of flexible and dynamic information applications for small to medium-sized offices and workgroups. Designed specifically for light-weight, task-specific information applications, the PIA framework is distinguished by its ability to embed intelligence and action into collections of active pages without the need to learn a programming language. PIA will be available for download under the Ricoh Source Code Public License from www.RiSource.org, a site dedicated to providing open source support to developers of information applications for workgroups and small offices. PIA defines document-oriented information applications with its unique use of XML to specify processing. The PIA framework separates an application into a core processing engine (called an agency) and task specific modules (called agents) which consist primarily of simple web pages. The agency provides basic support for processing electronic documents -- a key component for utilizing web-based information. In addition to basic http client and server functions, the engine can dynamically parse and transform structured documents. Operating as a server, proxy, or client, the agency flexibly routes request to the appropriate agent(s) and provides hooks for customization and enhancement at all levels of the processing.Agents provide the user interface and task-specific information processing (with the processing logic represented in XML)--making it easier to develop and maintain by non programmers. These pages may include special tags which are dynamically interpreted by the agency. Interface designers, graphical artists, or technical writers may develop the XML pages, and actual information design can be modified without code modification. www.ricoh.com
