Collaborative Web Services-based Document Management System Design

Document is a direct carrier to save and pass product data, so it is the basic key for enterprise to survival. Since the system architecture and implementation techniques and other reasons, traditional document management system has many shortages, such as distributed document search, document business collaboration, document versions management. At the same, it is difficult for document management to achieve enterprise knowledge accumulation based multi-version and document quick query. Document management has a direct impact on product quality, data accuracy and the overall efficiency of enterprise staff. Therefore, under the dual pressure of market competition and customer personalized demand, enterprise should construct a kind of document collaborative management system to accelerate the time to market and enhance its core competitiveness. The system not only supports multiple roles to involve in a cross-system document collaboration processing, but also supports user to query the distributed document quickly.Web services technology provides the assurance for enterprise to achieve the remote information transferring, collecting and sharing through cross-platform. Workflow technology ensures document business to be processed automatically by the supporting of standardized work processes.The thesis analyzed the feature of manufacturing enterprise management software applications, and discussed the use of Web services in document collaborative management system. Specially, the thesis studied the development of Web services-based document collaborative management system. Concretely, the thesis discussed:1. The thesis introduced the background and significance of the research topics, analyzed the research status of document management and Web services, proposed the study content of the thesis, ensured document collaborative management system based on Web services development, and discussed the architecture principles of Web services and document collaborative management.2. The thesis analyzed requirements of document collaborative management system, decided the function rule of the system, analyzed the core functions and core business processes in the system, and designed the system outline framework and database.3. Based the above analysis, the thesis ensured the development rules. The system detail design is researched, including the design of system web service model, as the examples, distributed document query and new document are designed in detail by using modular design method.Finally the thesis summarized and out looked document collaborative management system based Web services. By using Web services in the document management system, the system can meets the document collaborative processing of enterprise, and it can ensure remote user to query document quickly through Web client. These abilities improve the user' s work efficiency, speed up the sharing and exchanging of product data based on the document, provide the basic protection for enterprise to improve its core competitiveness.
