ebXML 은 XML 기반의 새로운 국제 표준 프레임워크이다. 이 새로운 프레임워크 구성요소 중의 하나인 등록저장소는 기업간의 거래를 위해서 비즈니스 프로세스, 기업 프로파일, 핵심 컴포넌트 등의 정보를 저장, 관리함으로써 기존의 EDI 보다 개방적이고 유연한 온라인 거래를 가능하도록 한다. 그런데, 기업간 비즈니스를 위해서는 위의 정보들뿐만 아니라 기업의 상품 정보인 전자카탈로그도 ebXML 등록저장소에서 제공할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 ebXML 등록저장소에서 전자카탈로그 데이터를 수용하기 위해서 ebXML 레지스트리 정보모델을 이용한 카탈로그 정보 모델을 설계하고, 다른 시스템에 존재하는 전자카탈로그 데이터를 연계할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

While standardization and its applications for registering and sharing information resources about B2B transactions such as business documents are relatively well developed, it is not easy to register and share business process resources because there are many ways to define complex business processes using different specification(definition) languages. In practice, there are several competing business process specification languages applicable under service-oriented architecture (SOA) such as ebXML BPSS, WS-BPEL, BPMN and so on. A systematic way has to be prepared to register/share diverse and heterogeneous specifications represented using those languages. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of sharing B2B business processes by prototyping a business process registry called ebRR4BP. First of all, we designed a metadata ontology to support the registration of diverse B2B business processes. To implement the proposed metadata ontology using ebXML registries, a mapping scheme to ebXML Registry Information Model is also suggested. The ontology and mapping scheme will be a foundation for supporting common interchange of business process metadata among B2B resistries.

B2B registries provide spaces to register and retrieve information which is necessary to support B2B transactions among business partners or potential business partners. Business process specifications are one of important contents in B2B registries, and there is high complexity of representation due to complex and dynamic characteristics of business processes. Also, currently there exist several competing specification frameworks such as ebXML BPSS, WSBPEL, BPMN, and so on. This paper proposes a metadata schema to register business process specifications which are represented by different specification frameworks. The proposed schema has extensibility to register business process specifications which are represented by various different specification frameworks. Also, it extends reuse level from whole business specification processes to their components. To show the usefulness of the proposed schema, this paper demonstrates metadata extraction from business process specifications which are represented by two representative XML-based business process specification languages, ebXML BPSS and WSBPEL.

기업간 전자상거래 국제 표준인 ebXML 의 표준 사양에 따른 정보등록저장소를 활용하여 각 산업별 B2B 표준 컨텐츠를 저장, 등록, 관리하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 각 산업별 기관별 등록저장 소가 만들어지고 또한 국가별로도 중앙등록저장소가 구현됨에 따라 이들을 서로 연계하여 산업간의 B2B 활용도를 높이고 또한 연동성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 찾고 있는 중이다. 이미 OASIS에서는 Federation 및 Replication 기능을 추가한 ebRS 2.5 버전 사양에 대한 드래프트를 제시하였고 표준으로 승인받기 위한 절차를 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국전자거래진흥원의 지원하에 개발된 정보등록저장소의 Federation 및 Replication 처리시스템의 개발방법에 대해 살펴보고 현실에 적용할 때에 발생할 수 있는 제반 프로토콜상에서의 문제점 및 해결방안에 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.

As business-to-business electronic commerce becomes activated, usage rate of standard electronic documents is rapidly increasing. Types and forms of standard documents exchanged between businesses have also been changed. Instead of EDI documents, mainly used in the initial phase, XML documents have been actively used recently. However, most framework standards for XML documents just specify basic syntax rules, messaging protocols, and standard documents. As a result, it has been usually difficult to procure efficiency and effectiveness in developing new standard electronic documents. Reflecting the experiences of developing UN/EDIFACT, UN/CEFACT provides a methodology and library for reusing standard data items as components when defining electronic documents. However, much additional effort is required for applying the methodology and library to the development process. In order to improve this situation, this paper proposes a system for supporting the development process by reusing various resources of registries/repositories, focusing on UN/CEFACT submission forms for standard electronic documents.

B2B registries are information systems to register B2B related business information such as companies' profiles, business documents, business processes, and services and to provide query facilities to find information about potential business partners. Focusing on the design of the registry for B2B business processes, in this paper, a metadata ontology is designed to register B2B business processes. In practice, there are several competitive business process definition languages such as ebXML BPSS (Business Process Specification Schema), WSBPEL (Web Service Business Process Execution Language), BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation), and so on. In order to register heterogeneous business processes based on different representation frameworks, the proposed metadata ontology consists of three layers, common metadata, language-specific metadata, and interrelationship metadata. To show the usefulness of the proposed metadata ontology, two examples which are represented by ebXML BPSS and WSBPEL respectively are described in order to show how the proposed metadata ontology is used to registry B2B business processes. To implement the proposed metadata ontology using ebXML registry, metadata mapping scheme to ebRIM (ebXML Registry Information Model) is also suggested.
