隨著網際網路的興起，出現了許多提供各式各樣服務的全球資訊仲介網站，為企業創造了一個新的經營管理模式，藉由網際網路這個虛擬環境，不僅提供使用者所需的商品或服務，也對企業經營管理提供了知識蒐集、整合等有效的方法與途徑，在這整個虛擬的仲介環境中，所涉及的將是設計、製造、行銷以及消費者所回饋的資訊，因此要將一個產品從設計、製造、行銷以及消費者所回饋的資訊；分屬不同階段的資訊整合起來，並提供分享，誠屬不易。但從產品開發的生命週期角度來看，這些階段的工作都牽動著企業的成本、品質及管理；甚至是公司未來企業經營成敗的關鍵，因此若能透過一些管理作業的資訊化，進而將這些資訊妥善的整合在一起，提供企業運用，是本研究值得探討的議題。
有鑑於此，本研究提出三階段的方略作為「設計整合、服務導向、網路仲介知識共享平台」主要的發展與完成策略。該平台藉由服務導向與網路技術快速的演進，以XML作為交易媒合流程知識文件交換與儲存格式的基礎，將系統平台內使用者對產品的設計、製造、行銷等不同知識領域所包含的概念種類及關聯特性整合進仲介交易的程序過程中。透過XML與Web Services技術作為仲介交易程序過程的基礎，不僅交易後的知識能結構化的被保留下來，也便於傳遞在各使用者之異質系統間，讓文件中的資料得以一致的被運用。而文件資料標籤與文字內容的定義明確也讓各使用者在搜尋知識時能更為正確便利與快速。
「設計整合、服務導向、網路仲介知識共享平台」計畫以具較佳的經濟效益下發展並部署；整合的知識共享系統可使其資訊內涵重複被使用以及有效管理產品知識與經驗。本文描述這些不同知識領域下的資料與知識共享架構的發展與結果及如何提升產品資訊流以獲得利基。

With the birth of the Internet, there have been many websites offering a wide variety of services. Thus, a brand-new mode of management has been created for businesses. As a virtual environment, the Internet furnishes the user with the needed products and services. Also, it provides the business manager with an effective method by which knowledge can be collected and integrated. In the virtual and intermediary environment, the information concerned covers the design, production, marketing, and user feedback of a particular product. Therefore, it is rather difficult to integrate all the above-mentioned information coming from different stages of product development and then to share it with all the users. Yet, in light of the life cycle of the product, the various tasks directly affect the cost, quality, and management of a business and will even determine its successful operation. In such a case, this research focuses on how business management information can be digitized, integrated, and then utilized by the business world.
In consideration of the above, this research presents a three-phased plan, which is mainly aimed at developing and implementing a “design-integrating, service-oriented, Web-intermediary, and knowledge-sharing platform (DSWKP).” With the rapid advancement of the service-oriented and Internet technology, the DSWKP employs Extensible Markup Language (XML) as the basic exchange and storage format of knowledge texts during the Internet-mediated transaction (IMT). Meanwhile, in the programmed process of the IMT, the DSWKP integrates the information provided by the users. Such information covers various concepts and relevant features, such as the design, production, and marketing of a product. Throughout the process, XML and Web Services technology serves as the basis of the programmed IMT. Eventually, the knowledge resulting from the IMT will not only be stored structurally but also be transmitted freely between the users’ heterogeneous systems, with the data files utilized uniformly. Besides, since the XML file tags and textual content are clearly defined, the users can locate needed knowledge more precisely, easily, and quickly.
The DSWKP will be developed and installed to achieve more economic profits. Consequently, it will allow the same data content to be reused generously; in addition, product knowledge and experiences can be managed efficiently. This research paper describes the development and implementation of the DSWKP in different fields, as well as the way of improving the data flow to gain a profitable niche.
