XML for Electronic Catalog Model Based on ISO/PLIB

摘要

One of the e-procurement services that Toshiba provides is an electronic catalog system based on the Parts Library standard of - the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/PLIB). Although ISO/PLIB is a complete e-catalog model, it is too complex to readily use and implement. In addition, it is also desirable for catalog models to be exchanged in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format so as to be integrated with e-commerce standards.To meet these requirements, Toshiba and LISI/ENSMA (France) have proposed the Simplified Parts Library (SimPLIB), an XML-based catalog model.
