Research on enterprises process information collaboration based on XML

To improve the process information collaboration across enterprises in collaborative business, a meta-model based on Extended Markup Language (XML) for process description was proposed. To realize the semantic description of process information, a semantic mapping rule and procedure based on Process Specification Language (PSL) ontology was defined and the semantic of PSL ontology was analyzed. To realize the syntactic description of process information and information exchange, a description rule for PSL core based on XML was established. Finally, an example of purchasing collaboration of supply chain was provided to illustrate the validity and feasibility.
