A Reference Model for E-Commerce
电子商务的一种参考模型

This paper proposes a six.layers reference model for E-Commerce, including infrastructures, science techniques, elementary services,business strategies,business modes and society environment layer. Main classifications and some concrete entities in each layer are given. Because an explicit .machine.readable specification for each layer would help E.Commerce participants to exchange their concepts easily and implement them effectively or even automatically, some issues on introducing ontology into the reference model are also discussed.
