document: The role of B2B engines in B2B integration architectures Semantic B2B integration architectures must enable enterprises to communicate standards-based B2B events like purchase orders with any potential trading partner . This requires not only back end application integration capabilities to integrate with e.g. enterprise resource planning -LRB- ERP -RRB- systems as the company-internal source and destination of B2B events , but also a capability to implement every necessary B2B protocol like electronic data interchange -LRB- EDI -RRB- , RosettaNet as well as more generic capabilities like Web services -LRB- WS -RRB- . This paper shows the placement and functionality of B2B engines in semantic B2B integration architectures that implement a generic framework for modeling and executing any B2B protocol . A detailed discussion shows how a B2B engine can provide the necessary abstractions to implement any standard-based B2B protocol or any trading partner specific specialization
