Where the name RosettaNet comes from?

?

The name Rosetta refers to the crucial breakthrough in the research regarding Egyptian hieroglyphs The name Rosetta is attached to the stone of Rosette This is a compact basalt slab that was found in July 1799 in the Egyptian village Rosette (Raschid), which is located in the western delta of the Nile The Rosetta Stone is a text written by a group of priests in Egypt to honour the Egyptian pharaoh It lists all of the things that the pharaoh has done that are good for the priests and the people of Egypt

It contains three inscriptions that represent a single text in three different variants of script written in 196 B.C. The text appears in form of ? hieroglyphs (script of the official and religious texts), ? of Demotic (everyday Egyptian script), ? and in Greek Many people worked on deciphering hieroglyphs over several hundred years However, the structure of the script was very difficult to work out The representation of a single text of the three mentioned script variants enabled the French scholar Jean Francois Champollion (1790-1832) in 1822 to basically decipher the hieroglyphs

RosettaNet Business Dictionary

?

Contains information about the trading partners like

? ? ?

Business Properties (e.g. business address), Business Data Entities (like ActionIdentity), and Fundemental Business Data Entities (e.g. BusinessTaxIdentifier, AccountNumber)

There is only one business dictionary that encompasses all supply chains like Electronic Components (EC), Information Technology (IT), etc.

RosettaNet Technical Dictionary and PIPs

? ?

Provide properties for describing products and services The RosettaNet framework enables supply chain business partners to execute interoperable electronic business (e-business) processes by developing and maintaining PIP implementation guidelines RosettaNet distributes PIPs to the trading partners, who use these guidelines as a road map to develop their own software applications PIPs include all business logic, message flow, and message contents to enable alignment of two processes

Doing Business through RosettaNet

?

? ?

In order to do electronic business within the RosettaNet framework, there are a number of steps the partners have to go through First, the supply chain partners come together and analyze their common inter-company business scenarios (i.e., public processes), that is, how they interact to do business with each other, which documents they exchange and in what sequence These inter-company processes are in fact, the as-is scenarios of their way of doing business with each other Then they re-engineer these processes to define the electronic processes to be implemented within the scope of the RosettaNet Framework

Doing Business through RosettaNet

An electronic business process includes both the interactions between partner companies, and the private processes within the company ? RosettaNet provides guidelines only for PIPs which are the public part of the inter-company processes

An Example
?

Consider, for example, a scenario where a buyer requests the price and availability of some products from a seller (PIP3A2) After receiving the response, the buyer initiates a Purchase Order Request (PIP3A4) The seller, on the other hand, after acknowledging the Purchase Order Request, sends an invoice notification (PIP3C3) to the buyer The seller sends a transportation request (PIP3B1) to the shipper (There is a third party in this scenario, which is a shipper)
Ceng 520 20/33

A. Dogac

An Example
?

The shipper, after shipment of the goods, sends the status of the shipment (PIP3B3) When buyer receives the shipment, it sends a shipment receipt notification (PIP4B2) to the seller. Finally, the seller prepares a billing statement and notifies the buyer (PIP3C5)

Product Categorization and Classification in RosettaNet

? ?

Product categorization and classification in RosettaNet is achieved through RosettaNet Technical Dictionary (RTD) The RTD specifies classes of products with their properties in XML DTD That is, associated with a product type, there is a collection of predefined XML tags Each product class also has a corresponding Universal Standard Products and Services Classification (UNSPSC) code, basically used to differentiate the products in the catalogs that do not fall into IT domain

Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)

?

In RosettaNet, PIPs use Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) to identify products In contrast to the product numbering that has been traditionally used within the Electronic Components supply chain, GTINs do not contain embedded information to describe products Traditional product numbers are split into segments, each representing specific product characteristics RosettaNet, on the other hand, in order to streamline the information exchange throughout the supply chain, defines GTINs to be used by PIPs to identify products In this way proprietary manufacturer and customer product numbers are avoided
Ceng 520 23/33

A. Dogac

Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)

?

? ?

In RosettaNet product information details can be obtained by querying a supply chain partner's catalog by using the standard tags through PIP2A5/EC Query Technical Information to return one or more GTINs along with product data Hence RTD is used in associating the product data with GTINs To implement the Technical Dictionary, an organization must categorize all saleable products according to the product classes and class properties specified in the Technical Dictionary

RosettaNet Messaging Structure

?

Execution of PIPs involves exchanging messages between the parties, and RosettaNet provides a Business Message structure for this purpose RosettaNet business messages (also termed as action or service messages) consist of a message header and a message body Both the header and the body are complete, valid XML documents The header and the body are encoded within a multipart/Related MIME message

A. Dogac

Ceng 520

25/33

RosettaNet Messaging
? ?

The message content is specified in individual PIPs Each PIP has one or more "actions" that are described by means of an individual DTD or schema RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) specifies and provides for a consistent mechanism to digitally sign and/or encrypt all RosettaNet messages (as needed), independent of the transfer protocol, PIP and the specific business document being exchanged It also specifies a reliable messaging mechanism based on "Acknowledgements"

A. Dogac

Ceng 520

26/33

RosettaNet Transport
?

The PIP business message is encapsulated into a RosettaNet protocol message termed as "RosettaNet Object The RosettaNet Object is composed of
? ? ?

a version and content length header, content comprising a business action message, and a digital signature length followed by a digital signature trailer

"RosettaNet Object is encapsulated into a message of HTTP protocol and send as a as a direct HTTP message
