碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊管理所 === 91 === Providing single e-service cannot fulfill rapidly changing requirements of customers. Composite e-services that integrate multiple basic e-services provide one-stop shopping for customers. Enterprises who participate in such a collaborative business model could be more competitive in e-marketplace. The contribution of this thesis is proposing a Topic Maps based user interface on our previous composite e-services platform. The proposed interface eases current UDDI-based web services navigation and search. Customers can easily browse and pick up preferred e-services and providers by using the user-friendly interface. Furthermore, the associations between basic and composite e-services are clearly visualized. In our composite e-services platform, customers can browse, search, and compose e-services, and analyze the usage of basic and composite e-services. Therefore, the proposed platform effectively reduces the complexity of e-services technologies and increases the popularity of e-services.
