Article #1400 - RosettaNet

The RosettaNet standard forms a common e-Business language, aligning processes between trading partners on a global basis. It enables companies to carryout business-to-business (B2B) transactions in a seamless, secure, and real-time manner through system-to-system integration between customers and suppliers. RosettaNet PIPs (Partner Interface Processes) define business processes between trading partners and are specialized, system-to-system, XML-based dialogs. Each PIP specification includes a business document with the vocabulary, and a business process with a message dialog. The PIP approach can be used by GridWise™ architecture board to develop a similar standard for the GridWise community.

RosettaNet has great potential as a standard for automated e-Business. It has an effective focus on supply chain business processes. Many of RosettaNet's PIPs are already in production between trading partners in the Information Technology, Electronic Components, and Semiconductor Manufacturing supply chains.
