Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinarily since the spread of the Internet. A wide variety of commerce is conducted in this way, spurring and drawing on innovations in electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies such as e-mail as well.
A small percentage of electronic commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to premium content on a website, but most electronic commerce involves the transportation of physical items in some way. Online retailers are sometimes known as e-tailers and online retail is sometimes known as e-tail. Almost all big retailers have electronic commerce presence on the World Wide Web.
Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses is referred to as Business-to-business or B2B. B2B can be open to all interested parties (e.g. commodity exchange) or limited to specific, pre-qualified participants (private electronic market).
Electronic commerce is generally considered to be the sales aspect of e-business. It also consists of the exchange of data to facilitate the financing and payment aspects of the business transactions.

An inter-company, application-to-application communication of data in standard format for business transactions, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of standards for structuring information that is to be electronically exchanged between and within businesses, organizations, government entities and other groups. The standards describe structures that emulate documents, for example purchase orders to automate purchasing. The term EDI is also used to refer to the implementation and operation of systems and processes for creating, transmitting, and receiving EDI documents.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) can be formally defined as 'The transfer of structured data, by agreed message standards, from one computer system to another without human intervention'. Most other definitions used are variations on this theme.
Despite being relatively unheralded, in this era of technologies such as XML web services, the Internet and the World Wide Web, EDI is still the data format used by the vast majority of electronic commerce transactions in the world.

Light and Color

We need to begin at the beginning, with light, which is itself a human perception. Light is one portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, along with X-rays and radio waves. The tiny part of this spectrum that we call light is that portion to which the human eye is sensitive. Color is another perceptual value; there is nothing about light at a wavelength of 700 nanometers that makes it red. Red is simply a perception of light, as are all other colors. Even so, we will use "red light" as a shorthand to mean something like that, along with "blue light" and "green light" for other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Technology Overview
iPhone is a small handheld device with a unique touch-screen user interface. It combines three devices— a phone, an iPod, and an Internet device—into one. You can create Web 2.0 applications for iPhone that look and behave like native iPhone applications. Web applications seamlessly integrate with iPhone applications and services, including those for making a phone call, sending an email, and displaying a location in Google Maps. Web applications can extend the capabilities of iPhone without compromising its reliability or security.
Safari on iPhone is the application for browsing the web on iPhone. It is a full web browser optimized for iPhone that responds to a finger as the input device and supports gestures for zooming and panning. Safari on the desktop and Safari on iPhone use the same Web Kit engine. Therefore, most web content that works on the desktop works on iPhone with no modifications but can be optimized for iPhone.
The Web Kit is an open source project as well as a framework in Mac OS X for embedding web browsers in Cocoa applications. Web Kit contains many HTML, CSS, and JavaScript extensions that you can use to create web content that is optimized for iPhone. For example, use HTML to set the viewport width for iPhone, use CSS to create custom style sheets for iPhone, and use JavaScript to access the Document Object Model (DOM) and the Canvas object for drawing.
In addition to these technologies, you can use any web technologies on Mac OS X or other platforms to develop web applications for iPhone. For example, use WebObjects to create a database back end for a web application.
Start Here
Before you begin to create any web application or content for iPhone, it’s a good idea to be familiar with the underlying iPhone technologies. Start by reading Development for iPhone for an overview of the developer resources available for iPhone.
Choose a Learning Path
There are a number of web technologies you can use to create web applications and content for Safari on iPhone.

Safari on iPhone, the application for browsing the web on iPhone and iPod touch, is a full web browser running on a small handheld device with a high-resolution screen. This unique implementation of Safari responds to a finger as the input device and supports gestures for zooming and panning. It also renders webpages in portrait or landscape orientation. It contains many built-in features such as PDF viewing, video playback, and support for links to the native Phone, Mail, Maps, and YouTube applications.
Because Safari on iPhone uses the same web engine as Safari on the desktop, your webpages might work well on iPhone without any modifications. Some differences exist, however, so at a minimum you should ensure that your webpages are compatible with Safari on iPhone. Next, you might optimize your webpages for iPhone simply as a convenience to the user. For example, ensure that your webpages work over both Wi-Fi and EDGE, scale correctly when rendered, and contain media that is viewable on iPhone. Finally, you might build custom web applications for iPhone that look and behave like native applications.
All Safari web browsers use the same Web Kit engine. The Web Kit is an open source project as well as a framework in Mac OS X that lets developers embed a web browser in their Cocoa applications. The Web Kit has a JavaScript and Objective-C interface to access the Document Object Model (DOM) of a webpage. Dashboard, Mail, and many other Mac OS X applications also use the Web Kit as an embedded browser.
In addition to providing browser functionality, the Web Kit also implements some extensions to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript including several specific to Safari on iPhone. This document teaches you how to separate your iPhone-specific web content from your other web content so that when you optimize your web content for iPhone, it still works on the desktop and other browsers. This document also covers some basics on tailoring web applications for iPhone.
Note: Safari on iPhone behaves the same on iPhone and iPod touch except when the user taps links to iPhone-only applications. Read “Using iPhone Application Links” for information on the links that behave differently on iPod touch.
Who Should Read This Document
You should read this document if you want your web content to look good and perform well on iPhone, if you plan to write iPhone-specific web content, use iPhone-specific style sheets, or use iPhone application links in your web content. Definitely read this document if you are creating a custom web application for iPhone.
Also read iPhone Human Interface Guidelines, a companion document, which describes how Safari on iPhone behaves and contains metrics and tips on designing user interfaces for iPhone.

Apple’s iPhone presents a revolutionary user interface and interaction model. Users can view webpages, use web applications, and use built-in iPhone features, such as the email application, the iPod, and the digital camera, wherever they go. Safari on iPhone, a unique implementation of Safari, is the application users use to browse the web on both iPhone and iPod touch.
Note: Safari on iPhone behaves the same on iPhone and iPod touch except when users tap links to iPhone-only applications. See Using iPhone Application Links in Safari Web Content Guide for iPhone for more information about links that behave differently on iPod touch.
This document introduces you to the iPhone environment and how it shapes the user experience of iPhone content. Then, it explains how to design a superlative user interface for your web content so it displays and works well on iPhone. It does this by first examining different types of iPhone content and exploring how you can decide which type to create. It then discusses how to apply user interface design principles to iPhone content, and finally provides numerous metrics and guidelines to help you handle specific design issues. For the implementation details and guidance you need to write the code for your iPhone product, see the “See Also” section below.
Note: Currently, developers create web applications for iPhone, not native applications. Therefore, this document focuses solely on the presentation of web applications and other web content on iPhone.
Whether you’re an experienced web content developer or an application developer unfamiliar with web content creation, you should read this document to find out what users expect of iPhone content and how to design content that exceeds those expectations.
If you have user interface development experience, you might be tempted to skip the sections on human interface design principles and desirable application characteristics.

Getting Started with Internet & WebTechnology OverviewMac OS X provides a wide variety of APIs and tools for developing web content and applications for the web. There are Web 2.0 technologies for creating and manipulating web content for Safari on the desktop, Safari on iPhone, Safari on iPod touch, and Dashboard. There are also web client APIs available to Cocoa and Carbon application developers to access web services and display and edit web content in desktop applications. There’s WebObjects or pure Java to implement web server applications. There’s also plenty of third-party APIs and tools for web server development available on Mac OS X (such as, PHP, Perl, Python, JSP, and MySQL). Start HereBefore you begin to write any code, it’s a good idea to be familiar with the underlying Internet and web technologies. Start by reading Internet & Web for an overview of the tools available on Mac OS X. Choose a Learning PathThere is a vast set of technologies related to Internet & Web development. The subheadings in this section identify four distinct paths of Internet & Web development. Choose the path that is most appropriate for your project. Creating Web ContentIf you are creating or editing web content—files or data types that are transmitted by web server applications and displayed by web client applications—for Safari on the desktop, Safari on iPhone, Safari on iPod touch, or Dashboard, then use Web 2.0 technologies that include access to the Canvas element and Document Object Model (DOM). If you are new to JavaScript on Mac OS X, read Apple JavaScript Coding Guidelines.
Creating Web Content for iPhoneIf you are creating web content or applications specifically for Safari on iPhone and Safari on iPod touch, start by reading Getting Started with iPhone, and then refer to Safari Web Content Guide for iPhone and iPhone Human Interface Guidelines for details on creating web content for these handheld devices with touch screens. Developing Web Client ApplicationsIf you are developing web client applications using Cocoa or Carbon, you can use the Web Kit to display and edit web content in your windows. If you just want to send requests to a web services application, there’s an API for that, too. There are also C, Objective-C, and Java APIs for using web standards such as XML and URL in your applications. If you are new to Cocoa or Carbon development, read Getting Started with Cocoa or Getting Started with Carbon for links to additional resources.
Developing Web Server ApplicationsIf you are developing web server applications, especially database-driven web applications, you want access to all the J2SE and J2EE development and deployment tools, including WebObjects, EOF, and JavaServer. WebObjects is specifically designed for implementing database-driven dynamic web content. You can easily turn any HTML-based WebObjects application into a web services application by simply using an assistant.
Next StepsThe Internet & Web Reference Library includes the following high-level resource pages, which you can bookmark for easy access:
|
Getting Started with WebObjectsTechnology OverviewWebObjects is a suite of tools and object-oriented frameworks that enable you to create and deploy web applications and web services for Mac OS X. Using the APIs and tools that WebObjects provides, and developing in Java, you can:
You can save time developing these applications using rapid prototyping tools. Finally, a number of deployment options are available. Start HereIf you are new to web client-server technologies, read the ADC topic page for WebObjects. If you are new to WebObjects development, read WebObjects Overview to see how WebObjects works. You'll get an overview of how a three-tiered web application works and guidelines on selecting an approach that is best for your type of application. Choose a Learning PathYou have a wide range of APIs and tools to choose from when developing and deploying web applications for Mac OS X. Which tools and learning paths you choose depends on the type of web application you want to create. For example, if you develop web applications, especially database-driven web applications with dynamic page content, you want to use Enterprise Objects (EOF). WebObjects supports all types of applications, including HTML content and web services applications. HTML-Based Web ApplicationsTypically, you use WebObjects to develop an HTML-based web application in which users view and edit content using a native web browser. The HTML pages can be dynamic based on the state of enterprise objects.
Also, see WebObjects Application Properties Reference for both development and deployment WebObjects application command-line arguments. J2EE ApplicationsWebObjects also supports integration with J2EE development tools and applications.
Web ServicesA web service is a distributed application that provides some service through operations it defines to a consumer, a desktop application, or another web application. Web services is built on top of an industrywide messaging standard called SOAP.
Database-Driven ApplicationsA common reason for using WebObjects is to create dynamic web content based on your enterprise objects stored in a back-end database. Enterprise Objects handles the mapping of database records to enterprise objects for you. You can use Enterprise Objects with any of the WebObjects approaches.
Deployment OptionsIf you want to deploy a WebObjects application or service, read WebObjects Deployment Guide Using JavaMonitor. Also, see WebObjects Application Properties Reference for both web application, wotaskd, and Java Monitor command-line arguments. Java DevelopmentIf you are new to Java development, read Java for WebObjects Developers and Getting Started with Java for more information on Apple’s support for J2SE, J2EE, and other Java development tools. Developing WebObjects ToolsIf you are developing a third-party WebObjects tool to create EOModel and WOComponent objects, read WebObjects File Format Reference for a description of the file formats supported by WebObjects.

Explorations of the field includes a study of clothing and style as socio-cultural communication and an investigation of how emerging technologies can assist in personal expression. The practical work will include a hands-on study of enabling technologies. The student will put their knowledge into practice by crafting a prototype based on an investigation that creates an innovative idea. Structurally, the course is divided into lecture, workshop, labs and presentation seminars.
The course for the spring semester 2008 is running from 21/1-08 in the evenings, part time.
Fall semester 2008 the course is extended into a full time course over the whole semester. 20 weeks.

iWear needs to be able to seach by UPC, and needs to be refined so it can specifically search the sites of major fashion retailers and search by style #. style # searches will be very important if we want to intergrate the photos on the website w/ the virtual wardrobe interface. the search needs to be smart: meaning its needs to be able to read - 100% wool made in the USA, and sperate wool into the materails field, and USA into the made in field (if we include a made in feild)

Abstract
The present study examines the role of brands in the process of impression formation. The article examines the hypothesis that brand personality traits may carry over and affect perceptions of the personality of the brand's owner. Based on the continuum model of impression formation the findings support the expectation that the impact of brand personality is stronger when the situational context embedding brand and owner is consistent with the key association that the brand evokes. Moreover, the amount of attention the perceiver can devote to the judgment task moderates this process, such that the interaction effect between brand personality and situational consistency is more pronounced when consumers are free to use as much time to the impression formation task as deemed necessary. Conversely, when under time pressure, consumers tend to resort only to brand personality as a basis for forming an impression.
