While the number of online shopping mall is very rapidly increasing, Korean Fair Trade Commission forces shopping malls to provide their business information on the webpage by Consumer Protection Law in the Electronic Commerce. Generally internet shopping malls provide their business on the bottom of their homepages with semi-structured format. But the attributes names and representational structure do not have standard forms. This paper proposes 3 structural representational forms of business information on the web, HTML-bsed structure, XML-based structure, and XML data island-based structure. We propose that XML data island-based structure is the most adoptable structure at this stage of Electronic Commerce development.
