This information flow contains
key market conditions; potential volatile aggregate demand volume; product
information represented in standard ontologies; and market participant reputation
information based on transaction histories and reported levels of satisfaction that
can be ???understood??? by the intelligent agent to make decisions on behalf of their
business enterprises (buyers/suppliers). In addition, this relevant information from
a single e-marketplace can be made available to authorized participants in related
e-marketplaces. As a result, suppliers in downstream e-marketplaces in the value
chain can integrate their production plans with market-supplied, upstream demand
and, at the same time, generate demand functions for downstream e-marketplaces.
Subsequently, the DLs for all the software agents of the e-marketplace are developed.
In the context of the intelligent, infomediary-based e-marketplace, buyer, supplier,
and infomediary are each a business enterprise described as
