The rapid development of internet information technology has increased interest in e-Trade these days, but it is not activated greatly up to now. In order to promote e-Trade, it is essential to construct cooperative process such as connecting systems among trade related parties. Building e-Trade platform which is based on the infrastructure of the past trade automatic system is key point of promoting e-Trade. To do this, a study on the basic concept and specific components of e-Trade platform is needed absolutely. At this point of view, after this paper has examined domestic and foreign studies on the fundamental technologies about electronic commerce, it drew several key technologies that could be applied to e-Trade considering the current IT trend. Then it evaluates these technologies according to Technology Reference Model(TRM) of the National Computerization Agency. This will help us to show the operation strategy as well as the concept of future e-Trade platform and its composition. On the basis of the theoretical background, this paper classified NCA's technology model into 6 fields, which are application. data, platform, communication, security and management. Considering the key technologies, e-Trade platform has to be mutually connected and accept international standards such as XML. In the aspect of business side, trade relative agencies' business process as well as trading company's process has to be considered. Therefore, e-Trade platform can be classified into 3 parts which are service, infrastructure and connection. Infrastructure part is compared of circulating and managing system of electronic document, interface and service framework. Connecting service (application service) and additional service (application service) consist of service part. Connecting part is a linking mutual parts and can be divided into B2B service and B20 service. The organization operating this e-trade platform must have few responsibilities and requirements. It needs to positively accept existing infrastructure of trade automatic system and improving the system to complete e-trade platform. It also have to continuously develop new services and possess ability to operate the system for providing proper services to demanders. As a result, private sector that can play a role as TTP(Third Trust Party) is adequate for operating the system. In this case, revising law is necessary to support the responsibility and requirement of private sector.

우리나라는 2003년부터 2008년까지 전자정부 과제로 인터넷기반의 국가전자무역망(uTradeHub)을 성공적으로 구축하여 무역의 전자화를 활성화하고 있으며, 전자무역의 마지막 단계라고 불리는 선하증권(B/L)을 전자화한 '한국형 전자선하증권 서비스(e-B/L Korea)'를 정부와 민간의 협력 하에 구축하여 시범사업을 거쳐 2009년에 공식적으로 전자선하증권 서비스에 들어갔다. 국가적 차원에서 상법을 개정하고 시행령을 만들어 선하증권을 제도화한 것은 세계 최초이며 세계 각국이 이의 성공여부에 지대한 관심을 가지고 주목하고 있다. 한국형 선하증권의 성공은 2011년 말을 기점으로 우리나라가 세계에서 9번째로 무역 1조불 클럽에 가입한 '무역강국'의 위상을 높이고 실질적으로 우리 수출입기업의 무역거래비용을 절감함으로써 향후 무역 2조불시대를 앞당길 전자무역 활성화의 시금석으로 인식되고 있다. 하지만 아직은 국가 간 연계구축망이 부재하고, 서류의 보안성과 안전성올 높이기 위한 전자인중이 국제적으로 통용되고 있는 사적인증을 배제하고 국내공인인증만을 취급하는 등 e-B/L 서비스를 활성화하기 위해서 해결해야할 문제점도 산적해 있어 실질적으로 e-Nego 서비스가 크게 확산되지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 e-Nego 또는 서면전환 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 한국형 전자선하증권의 변형에 따른 문제점을 비롯하여 구조적, 제도적 문제점과 사용상 장애요인을 도출하여 이에 대한 해결방안을 제시하였으며, 한국형 전자선하증권의 특성을 검토하고 통 서비스 활용을 활성화하기 위한 전략을 제시하였다.

The purposes of the study are to measure the relative importance of independent variables, to analyze relation between user satisfaction and use, and to improve the level of user satisfaction in using e-Trade system(uTradeHub). The study develops the independent variables in three dimensions(i.e the quality of system, quality of information, and quality of service), estimates the level of satisfaction on a par with these variables, and analyzes the causal relation of these variables. The major findings of the study are as follows. First, there is a significant casual relationship between the quality of system and user satisfaction, thus the hypothesis is accepted. Second, there is a significant casual relationship between the quality of information and user satisfaction, thus the hypothesis is accepted. Third, there is a significant casual relationship between the quality of service and user satisfaction, thus the hypothesis is accepted. Final, there is a significant casual relationship between the user satisfaction and use, thus the hypothesis is accepted.

This paper examines the major determinants affecting the user satisfaction on e-Trade portal sites in small and medium-sized exporters. The development of our research model is based on the empirical studies on the service quality of information system, web sites or Internet shopping mall, and on the factors influencing the user satisfaction. With the help of a regression analysis and factor analysis, five hypotheses are derived and tested. The results from regression analysis suggest that the user satisfaction of e-Trade portal sites is affected by information characteristics and ease of use of e-Trade portal sites. In addition, the user satisfaction of e-Trade portal sites is enhanced by support for international trade. Our findings will be useful, especially for those who are planning to build user-oriented e-Trade portal sites.
