Business-to-Business
e-Commerce with Open
Buying on the Internet

Abstract:
Internet based e-Commerce is flourishing, but mostly in the Business-to-Consumer world. The lack of well-accepted standards is hindering the success in promoting Business-to-Business e-Commerce solutions. Open Buying on the Internet standard is one of the promising efforts in bringing business-to-business e-Commerce into corporate purchasing. Existing merchant servers can be augmented to endorse such standard like what we did with OBI-enablement for Net.Commerce
