In business-to-business E-Commerce, a broker system is used for mediating and monitoring the transactions between different partners. A repository system forms the memory of this broker which stores company and product profiles as well as contract clauses. We propose a federated repository architecture which uses sophisticated meta data management facilities to adapt the memory of the broker to the needs of the clients.
