摘要

科技日新月異，企業透過獲取正確的資訊以及快速回應來保持競爭優勢根據資源基礎理論，企業由一群資源所組合，並透過資源的使用來幫助企業達成目標。台灣中小企業蓬勃發展且具有高度彈性以及快速回應的特性在台灣經濟扮演重要角色。本研究將透過資源基礎理論建立一個企業資訊入口網站，將本網站與其他不同架構的網站做比較，找出特點提供給企業做參考。
在本研究中，我們利用表象化型態轉變來建立企業資訊入口網站，表象化型態轉變為ㄧ以資源作定義的系統架構風格，在本研究先介紹關於此專案的背景，接著針對專案做系統需求與系統分析。在分析完需求之後，我們建立一個企業資訊入口網站的雛形。我們使用Ruby on Rails 2.0 來作為建置工具，因為它所支援的Ruby語言是最適合建置REST。建置完成之後，我們還提供使用指南以及一些壓力測試以確保功能都能正常運作。
在開發完網站之後，我們討論一些管理上議題，在成本、企業程序以及策略上，REST風格的架構可以快速建立以及降低建置成本及時間。且我們也對REST架構與其他軟體架構的異同做了討論，了解REST架構的網站確實是一個可行的選擇方案。而這些優點都可以帶給中小企業在建置時的一個選擇。

New information technologies are being developed everyday in the world. Enterprises are trying to keep their competition advantages by holding right information and make quick response. According to the resource based theory, it is developed to explain how enterprises relate to their goal by defining enterprises as a collection or bundle of resources. Small and medium enterprises play an important role in Taiwan industry. The characteristic of the small and medium enterprise are flexible and quick response. In this research, we using resource based theory to build one enterprise information portal (EIP) architecture and set up one new way to develop the extensible markup language (XML) format so that make data exchange between different systems easier. After building an enterprise information portal, we compared different portal architecture, we hope this architecture can provide small and medium another perspective for choosing the style of the architecture.

In this research, we use representation state transfer (REST) to build an enterprise information portal. REST strictly refers to a collection of network architecture principles which outline how resources are defined and addressed. It is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems. We first introduced the background of the EIP project, and then we do system requirement and analysis. We build a prototype of the enterprise information portal and combined it with the service-oriented architecture. After finish the design of the architecture, we started to construct the portals. We use Ruby on Rains 2.0 to help us use Ruby to code, because Ruby is designed for REST use. After the portal completed, we provided the guideline of the portals and do some test to make sure every function is worked fine.
After we developed the portal, we discussed some management issue for enterprise strategy. From cost, business process and strategy layer, we concludes that the REST style portal is quickly and ease to construct, and we also realize the difference between the REST style architecture and other software application like SOAP from different using, url link and XML output. These compares make REST became a quick and ease for design. These benefits are very suit to the small and medium enterprise. And in the case of Children Innovative Knowledge for Children Industries project, we also proof that it can be developed.
