  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a system for traceability in the food supply chain. The system is able to systematically store information about products and processes operating on products throughout the entire supply chain from farm suppliers to retailers. The system manages quality information too. Thanks to the use of the electronic business using extensible markup language (ebXML) standard, the traceability system also provides data homogeneity, scalability and interoperability.
