CIMS环境下基于XML的信息交换与集成

Information Exchange and Integration Based on XML in CIMS Environment

计算机集成制造系统是一个围绕制造过程的复杂系统。信息在系统内部的集成及与外部系统之间的交换，都涉及到不同的支撑环境和不同的数据结构的兼容和联系问题。XML(eXtensible Markup Language，可扩展的标记语言)为解决跨平台信息集成提供了有效的途径。文章分析了XML的结构特点，探讨了网络环境下数据构成的特点以及信息集成的技术要求，提出了一个利用XML管理各种信息的架构，并将其应用于一个商业电子表单生成系统。

CIMS (computer integrated manufacturing system) is a very complicated system that concerns the process of manufacture. Information integration inside a system and information exchange among systems is related to the compatibility of the different support environment and the different data structure. XML (eXtensible markup language) is an effective solution for cross-platform information integration. The characteristic of XML is analyzed, and some characteristics of the information structure and the need for integrating information on Web are discussed. A framework to integrate information, which dealt information with XML, is provided, and its application on creating commercial bills is made.
