Abstract Agricultural products information
cannot be updated
in a timely fashion. This has been identified as an urgent problem in
rural areas of China where e-commerce is involved. This paper presents
a middleware content management system (also called PowerCMS
middleware) for updating agricultural products information
intelligently and automatically. PowerCMS middleware is based on the
technology framework of J2EE WEB service but with the added benefits of
middleware. Through its extensible architecture and flexible data
handling processes, PowerCMS provides several essential functions such
as automatic creation and intelligent collection of content,
content-based publication-subscription, personalised customisation
of agricultural product information, the storage and management of
internal and external data, user-rights management, and optimisation
tactics for handling queries. To show how PowerCMS middleware can
effectively deal with content management, an application of updating of
agricultural products information is presented as a case study.
