Using RosettaNet
RosettaNet is a consortium of computer manufacturers, electronics component suppliers, and distributors focused on automating and improving the efficiency of the supply chain within that industry by using standard electronic business interfaces through Internet transports such as Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to exchange Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents.
RosettaNet defines a format for business processes, which include data formats and flows using RosettaNet-defined transport methods and security. The RosettaNet-defined processes serve as frameworks for business flows throughout trading partner systems. This document explains the concepts and features that explain the Sterling B2B Integrator approach to implementing RosettaNet standards.
