B2Bi and Web Services
8
Two Classes of Web Services

• Simple Web Services Component level building
  blocks for constructing highly distributed,
  network based applications. Can be constructed
  either at design-time (per traditional
  application development paradigm), or at run-time
  (concept of the virtual application).
• Collaborative Web Services Complex protocols
  governing the interaction between applications
  and enterprises. Address additional requirements
  for security, non-repudiation, business process
  management, and long-running transactions.

9
Collaborative Web Services

• Collaborative Web Services live higher on the
  stack than simple Web Services.
• Can be viewed as B2B integration protocols that
  are built upon Web Services standards. ebXML and
  RosettaNet are two leading examples.
• Address additional requirements for security,
  non-repudiation, business process management, and
  long-running transactions.

10
ebXML
11
Introduction to ebXML

• Introduction
• ebXML is a joint OASIS - United Nations/ CEFACT
  Electronic Business XML initiative
• Open XML-based infrastructure
• Modular suite of specifications
• Lower the barrier of entry for small and medium
  enterprises (SMEs)

12
Introduction to ebXML (contd)

• ebXML is a complete B2Bi XML framework that
  enables business collaboration through the
  sharing of Web-based business services.
• ebXML supports the definition and execution of
  B2Bi business processes expressed as
  choreographed sequences of business service
  exchanges.
• ebXML expands upon first generation B2B solutions
  (such as EDI) by standardizing business process,
  trading partner profiles agreements, message
  transports, and security.
• ebXML is payload independent.

13
Introduction to ebXML (Contd)

• Strengths
• Completely based on XML
• Provides complete set of specifications.
• HORIZONTAL approach
• A combined effort of XML EDI communities to
  evolve new generation B2B(EDI)
• Infrastructure to provide a set of re-usable and
  extensible Core Components

14
Key Elements of ebXML Specification

• BPSS (Business Process Specification Schema)
• REGREP (Registry/Repository)
• CPPA (Collaboration Protocol Profile Agreement)
• MSH (Message Service)

Key Elements of an ebXML Solution

• GUI tools for CPPA creation
• Modeling tools for BPSS
• Standards adherence
• Security enhancements like S/MIME
• Scalability and High Availability
• Most ebXML solutions on the market today are not
  complete solutions they lack the business
  process management layer

21
Sample ebXML Scenario
22
Business Scenario

• A carmaker wants to automate the process of
  purchasing windshield glass
• The buyer (carmaker) and seller (glass
  manufacturer) agree that prior to submitting a
  purchase order, a price quote will be provided
• Will use OAG BODs to define business documents
  required to support these transactions
• Quote Request
• Quote Response
• PO Request
• PO Confirmation

23
Business Scenario

• Will utilize HTTP as a transport
• Will utilize XML Digital Signatures to support
  non-repudiation
• Will utilize SSL for authentication

24
Step 1 Define Collaborative Business Process

• UML-based graphical business process modeling to
  detail choreography between trading partners
• Carmaker sends glass manufacturer a request for a
  price quote for a particular product
• Glass manufacturer sends carmaker a response
  containing the price quote
• Carmaker sends glass manufacturer a purchase
  order for product at quoted price
• Glass manufacturer sends carmaker confirmation
  that purchase order was accepted
• Generate ebXML BPSS document

28
Step 2 Define Details for Interaction Between
Trading Partners

• Define transport, enveloping, security
  characteristics
• Will utilize HTTP as a transport
• Will utilize XML Digital Signatures to support
  non-repudiation
• Will utilize SSL for authentication

29
Step 2 Create CPA based on CPP Commonalities
30
Step 3 Initiate Collaboration
31
Step 4 Monitor Business Process

RosettaNet
34
RosettaNet

• RosettaNet
• RosettaNet specifications allow manufacturers,
  distributors, resellers, and end-users to
  leverage the Internet to exchange business
  documents across the entire supply chain.
• The RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF)
  specification provides XML-based standards for
  business documents and specifies common business
  processes between trading partners (known as
  PIPs).
• RosettaNet standardizes both process and data
  aspects of B2B collaboration.
• RNIF 3.0 will incorporate ebXML standards for
  trading partner management and message
  transport/security.

35
Key Elements of RosettaNet Standard

• PIPs (Partner Interface Processes)
• Dictionaries
• RNIF (RosettaNet Implementation Framework)

36
PIPs

• Define public process between two trading
  partners that govern processing of a business
  transaction
• Grouped into seven clusters
• 0 RosettaNet Support
• 1 Partner, Product, and Service Review
• 2 Product Information
• 3 Order Management
• 4 Inventory Management
• 5 Marketing Information Management
• 6 Service and Support
• 7 Manufacturing

37
PIPs (contd)

• Each Cluster contains segments which contain
  individual PIPs
• Ex Cluster 3 Order Management Segment 3A
  Quote and Order Entry PIPs 3A1 Request
  Quote 3A2 Request Price Availability
• Each PIP specifies private process model and
  payload message format

38
Dictionaries

• Provide a common vocabulary to be used by PIPs
  for conducting e-business
• Technical Dictionary properties for defining
  products
• Height
• Width
• Length
• Shape
• Version Number
• Etc.

39
Dictionaries (contd)

• Business Dictionary properties for conducting
  business activities
• Business Properties Things that describe an
  instance of a business transaction (ex, what does
  deliverTo and shipDate mean)
• Business Data Entities Business objects that
  are part of a business transaction (ex, what is a
  manifest and an invoice)

40
RNIF

• Defines the packaging, routing, and transport of
  messages between trading partners
• Message headers
• Receipt acknowledgement
• Exceptions
