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 presence in Malaysia, Europe, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand and Australia.
RosettaNet has several local user groups. The European User Group is called EDIFICE.
History of RosettaNet
RosettaNet started as an industry initiative in the United States in the 90s. The name is based on the Rosetta Stone, which was the key to the deciphering of hieroglyphics.The RosettaNet standard
The RosettaNet standard is based on XML and defines message guidelines 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 electronic components, consumer electronics, telecomunication and logistics. RosettaNet is originally coming from the US and widely spread there, but it is also well accepted and even supported by governments in Asia. Due to the wide spread of EDIFACT in Europe, RosettaNet is here used less, but it is growing.
