RosettaNet is a non-profit consortium
aimed at establishing standard
processes for the sharing of business
information
(B2B
). RosettaNet is a consortium of major Computer and Consumer Electronics, Electronic Components, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Telecommunications and Logistics companies working to create and implement industry-wide, open e-business process standards. These standards form a common e-business language, aligning processes between supply chain partners on a global basis.
RosettaNet is a subsidiary of GS1 US
, formerly the Uniform Code Council, Inc. (UCC). RosettaNet's 500 members come from companies around the world. The consortium has a presence in USA, Malaysia, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Thailand and Australia.
RosettaNet has several local user groups. The European User Group is called EDIFICE.
and defines message guidelines, interfaces for business processes, and implementation frameworks for interactions between companies. Mostly addressed is the supply chain
area, but also manufacturing, product and material data and service processes are in scope.
The standard is widely spread in the global Semiconductor Industry, but also in electronic components, consumer electronics, telecommunication and logistics. RosettaNet originated in the USA and is widely used there, but it is also well accepted and even supported by governments in Asia. Due to the widespread use of EDIFACT
in Europe, RosettaNet is used less, but it is growing.
The RosettaNet Automated Enablement standard (RAE) uses the Office Open XML document standard.
The RosettaNet Technical Dictionary (RNTD) is the reference model for the classification and characterization of the products in the supply chains that use RosettaNet for their interactions.
