  3. Outline • Content Formats Overview. • MIME – email contents. • EDI – business document contents. • XML – generic contents. Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  4. Overview • Net-Centric Applications require • Networks: a road, an express way • Internet, Intranet, proprietary networks, … • Delivery protocols: a mail man, a messager • HTTP, SMTP, TCP/IP, … • Content formats: a message • HTML, MIME, EDI, XML, … Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  5. Standard Email Contents • RFC 822 – ASCII only Header From:Natawut.N@chula.ac.th To:nc@cp.eng.chula.ac.th Subject: MIME demo. This email is to inform you that … One blank line Body (ASCII only) Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  6. MIME • Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension • RFC 2045 / 2046. • Allow non-ASCII data in email contents. • “Attachments”. • Three important features • Identify type of content. • Encode binary-format data into ASCII-format. • Multiple attachments. Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  7. MIME – Identify Content Type • “Content-Type:” header Content-Type: type/subtype; parameters • Types • Text: text/plain. • Image: image/jpeg, image/gif. • Audio: audio/basic. • Video: video/mpeg, video/quicktime. • Application: application/zip. • Multiple parts: multipart/mixed. Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  8. MIME – Content Encoding • “Content-Transfer-Encoding:” header Content-Transfer-Encoding: encoding_scheme • Base64 • Use ASCII characters to represent binary data. • Group data into 6-bit. Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  9. MIME – Example From:Natawut.N@chula.ac.th To:nc@cp.eng.chula.ac.th Subject: class photo MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; Boundary=ABCDEF12345 --ABCDEF12345 Dear class, Here are the photos … --ABCDEF12345 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type:image/gif Base64 encoded data ...... . . . . . . . . . .

  10. EDI • How companies exchange documents • Normal mail (snail mail). • Fax. • Email. • Example: • ABC department store sends an order form to XYZ cloth manufacture via fax. • Problems ? Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  11. EDI: Electronic Data Interchange “Intercompanycomputer-to-computer communication of standard business transactions in a standard format.” Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.

  12. EDI • Standards • ANSI X12. • UN/EDIFACT. • Who use it ? • Import/Export: Thai Customs. • Supply Chain: retail stores and suppliers. • Shipping and Freight: shipping company and shipyards. Net-Centric Computing: Data Formats Natawut Nupairoj, Ph.D.
