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

The RosettaNet standard
The RosettaNet standard defines both e-commerce document and exchange protocols, as part of the
Electronic data interchange (EDI).
The RosettaNet standard is based on
XML

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

in Europe, RosettaNet is used less, but it is growing.
The RosettaNet Automated Enablement standard (RAE) uses the
