A. RosettaNet, a subsidiary of GS1 US, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the collaborative development and rapid deployment of open, e-business process standards that align processes within global trading networks. RosettaNet standards and services provide a common language for e-business transactions and the foundation for integrating critical processes among partners within the global supply chain. Companies that use RosettaNet’s proven standards benefit from added cost-savings throughout supply chain processes, improved e-business communications with trading partners, enhanced product life cycle management capabilities, and added customer satisfaction.

A. RosettaNet drives collaborative development and rapid deployment of supply chain, business process standards and services, creating a common language and open processes that provide measurable benefits that are vital to the evolution of the global trading network.

A. Although RosettaNet standards are freely available to the public, and implementation provides incomparable benefits, becoming a member of RosettaNet offers a host of added advantages such as:

• Industry leadership
• Standards influence
• Regional implementation support
• Conferences and networking opportunities
• Website access to tools and programs
• Community updates and newsletters
• Marketplace exposure
• Technical support

Learn more About RosettaNet Standards

A. RosettaNet operates with the collaboration of hundreds of organizations, with technological and corporate support at the highest levels of the industry's largest companies. Members of RosettaNet contribute significantly throughout the standards development process, from concept to implementation.

And unlike other standards efforts, which focus on specific business units, elements and/or proprietary solutions, RosettaNet develops robust open business process standards, encompassing data dictionaries, implementation framework, and XML-based business message schemas and process specifications, proven by global implementations.

A. Spanning the Americas, Asia and Europe, the RosettaNet community includes multinational members and is driven by Global Councils. Additionally, RosettaNet has regional affiliates — in the Australia, China, Europe, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan — giving a voice to various business economies seeking to adopt and influence RosettaNet standards.

A. The RosettaNet Membership Program is a framework of flexible options that allow organizations to choose their level of membership Global Council Member, Global Industry Member, Global Partner, and Alliance Partner — according to the leadership role, standards participation, type of information and implementation assistance they require. A RosettaNet membership provides access to incremental tools and services to enhance members' ability to establish and maintain trading-partner networks efficiently.

A. RosettaNet has six established Global Councils — including the Computer and Consumer Electronics (CCE) Global Council, Electronic Components Global Council, Logistics (LG) Global Council, Semiconductor (SM) Global Council, Solution Provider (SP) Global Council, and Telecommunications (TC) Global Council. Representing a cross-section of the consortium in terms of regions and core competencies, the Global Councils drive development and priorities, serve as examples of implementation success, and actively promote RosettaNet.

A. The RosettaNet Standards Methodology (RSM) enables global cooperation to quickly solve targeted business problems.
RSM evolved through rigorous testing by nearly 50 RosettaNet programs resulting in over 2000 implementations of new global standards.

A. RosettaNet Foundational Programs encompass the development and evolution of all RosettaNet standards, including enhanced production of standard specifications and content, improved technical architecture, convergence activities and programs designed to improve implementation and global adoption. Examples include the RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF), RosettaNet Business Dictionary (RNBD), and RosettaNet Technical Dictionary (RNTD).

A. RosettaNet Milestone Programs focus on reaching implementation goals within an e-business process scenario. They serve as unifying forces within the industry — driving collaboration to solve critical supply chain challenges, aligning priorities within trading partner and solution provider communities, and speeding development and production implementation of RosettaNet PIPs.

A. RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) are specialized system-to-system XML-based dialogs that define business processes between trading partners. Each PIP specification includes a business document with the vocabulary, and a business process with the choreography of the message dialog.

A. The RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) Core Specification provides exchange protocols for quick and efficient implementation of RosettaNet standards. The RNIF specifies information exchange between trading partner servers using XML, covering the transport, routing and packaging; security; signals; and trading partner agreement.
