| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 資訊管理所 === 90 === In the 21th century, an era of information technology enabling business model change, it has been shown that information technology is the only way to increase enterprise’s completions for the reasons of flourishing researches in the issue of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Knowledge Management (KM).
Businesses use information technology to enhance their operation capabilities in this trend of business reengineering. Recently, a great number of articles and integrated researches appear in the related fields. However, most of them are focus on theoretical explorations and conceptual discussions on information technology researches.
In this thesis, an XML-based prototypical structure for business workflow and heterogeneous database integration has been proposed. XML is a popular information media, which describes data and cross-platform property for electronic data interchange over the Internet. The system automatically generates an XML document and triggers corresponding to a well-defined workflow process, which integrates information and transfers between inter-organization workflows and heterogeneous database systems. The information included in an XML document is related to official document’s information, flow description, flow to cancel and verification. The system objective defines mapping transferring rules to integrate heterogeneous database simultaneously.
The contributions of this thesis includes:
1.A detailed survey on XML-related infromation, including the related techinques between XML and Databases.
2.A prototype system to promote the XML applications for E-Commance.
3.Exploreing the rules of XML mapping model which describes two different databases to be mapped and inter-changeably.
4.To extend Wf-XML’s standard to define a genernal workflow template document. We also apply an example workflow application of “Economic Processing Zone Adminisation Ministry of Economic Affairs” for a testbed of inter-organization information interchage.
5.Practically applying SQL Server 2000 and BizTalk Server 2000 to establish a prototype for inter-organization workflow and heterogeneous database integration.
By our proposed business workflow and integrated heterogeneous database system architecture, enterprises are supposed to reduce their cost to establish business workflow and heterogeneous database system integration.
