RNIF Overview

RosettaNet is a set of XML standards for integrating business processes between companies. Primarily addressed is the supply chain area, but manufacturing, product and material data and service processes are also included. Each interaction between two companies is defined by a Partner Interface Process (or PIP) specification. A PIP is essentially the definition of an XML document to be exchanged with a partner and the rules of how the document is exchanged.
