Setting up electronic Business-to-Business relationships is time-consuming and costly. It has been eased to a certain extent by standards such as RosettaNet, which use XML and XML Schema technologies to define standardised syntax of messages used in interactions. However, this standardisation has necessarily maintained some flexibility to allow companies with different internal processes to comply with the standard. Furthermore, the standard is syntactic, rather than semantic. Semantic constraints on interactions are currently represented informally. This paper describes an application of Semantic Web technology to enhance RosettaNet and further reduce cost and time. Businesses can represent the possible ways they are able to interact as semantic and syntactic constraints.
