Analysis System, Based On The Container Transport Market Of The Edi Message

The shipping market is a competitive and dynamic market, in which the container transport enjoys a competition focus for its importance. Especially, with the rapid development of the container transport and the logistics, the increasing enhancement of and the demand for the container transport, it becomes more and more essential to make careful analyses of the container transport market.In the knowledge and economics times accompanied by the fast development of information technology, the application of EDI technology in the shipping market has been not only accepted, but also shaped into the global network. The application of EDI technology is increasingly focused on the EDI value-added information service by emphasizing particularly on how to process and abstract the information further, and it provides more information support for the EDI users of the harbors and shipping companies. Therefore, the EDI system is the most comprehensive means to convey and provide the information of the container transport market. However, in order to make the information of the container transport market from EDI more accurate, the statistics and the computer technology are needed to construct an analyzing system of container transport market to provide necessary information support and searching platform for the participants from harbors and shipping companies.With the analyses and the study of the container transport market based on EDI information, the thesis is comprised of five chapters.The first chapter puts forward the concerned problems and gives a general account of the studying thinking, content and the significance.The second chapter makes an introduction to the theory of data warehouse and data mining, which lays the theory foundation for constructing the analyzing system based on EDI information over thecontainer transport market.The third chapter focuses on designing the three-level structure mode of the analyzing system based on EDI information over the container transport market by making use of the data warehouse and data mining technology. The three-level structure mode consists of basic data level, data management level and application level.Chapter four contributes a lot to the analyses of the basic features and the supply-demand characteristics of the container transport market by using the statistics knowledge. And after that, three sets of statistical index systems are constructed respectively for the container transport market, shipping companies, and harbors.Chapter five is devoted to working out the front interface for searching the statistical index of the container transport market by simulating Oracle data warehouse of EDI, using the technology of data warehouse, and adapting Powerbuilder8.0 for programming tool. Thus, the analyzing system is realized for the container transport market based on EDI information.
