Abstract
With the emergence and popularity of Internet and WWW, information sharing and exchange have become global, and Electronic Commerce has been considered widely. Commerce Information System (CIS) is an information system whose goal is to process commerce transactions. We will discuss the two-level concept model of CIS in this paper— In macro sense, it is EC, while in micro sense, it is Commerce Oriented Information System(COIS). EC, consisting of many independent COIS, is more complicated and huge. Being an internal information system in the EC environment, COIS aims to carry on trade and gain more benefits, so it differs in many aspects from the traditional MIS in an organization. Compared with traditional MIS, COIS is expert in processing and utilizing external data to coordinate with the EC environment. We will also discuss the differences in system goal, function, architecture and design. To develop such a complicated information system as COIS on Internet. Such method as OO and Components is very useful. In later part of this paper, a model of this two-level Commerce Information System using such methods will be demonstrated.
