Digital data exchange communication platform, generic application programming interface for such a communication platform, procedures for operating and using such a communication platform

摘要

Communication platform for digital data exchange within a value chain by means of at least one order, with each individual order corresponding to a collaborative process, the digital data of which can be used in modules of the communication platform (2), and with each individual order being associated with an order structure whose digital data are also in modules the communication platform (2) can be used, and wherein the communication platform (2) has at least the following modules: an order structure module (6) which is designed a) to configure at least one such order structure (14), b) to to assign an authorization to create such an order and / or an authorization to accept such an order for each order structure to one or more user groups (13), c) to at least one user group ID involved in the value chain an authorization to create such an order and at least at least to assign an authorization to accept such an order to another user group ID (13), - a client module (8) which is designed in such a way a) to generate at least one such order (20), this order by selection such an order structure is generated, for which the user group ID has the authorization required for generation, and the order is assigned workflow information to each of which status information can be assigned, b) to assign the order (s) to a user group ID (22) and to release (24) or to make the job (s) available by releasing one or more user group IDs with the purpose of assignment, - a contractor module (10) which is designed in such a way a) to one of a user group ID to confirm or reject an assigned order or to report interest in an assignment for an order made available (26), b) in order to d adapt the status information of the order (36), and wherein the communication platform (2) has a generic application programming interface (18) with which the modules of the communication platform (2), in particular the order structure module (6), the client module (8) and the contractor module (10) are connected in such a way that digital data of the order structure can be used in all modules and a specific order can be used by the client module (8) and the contractor module (10) and orders of any order structures among each other are connectable.
