A supplier has a direct link between their accounting system and a published RSCML feed on their website. Whenever a new product is added or an old product is changed or deleted, the feed is updated.
A Distributor builds a system that collects the RSCML feeds from all it's suppliers. They use this to build a searchable index of products that they can source. This is combined and linked to their pricing information and stock control systems. They re-publish their own RSCML feed straight out of their own index system of all the products they can source.
A buyer collects RSCML feeds from their preferred suppliers. This is used as a source of information to update e-procurement system. When the purchasing agent is looking for a product they do a first search through this data. This gives them a shortlist. They then click though the entries to the suppliers website to view the full product specs. They then place the order.
A group of third party websites begin collecting RSCML globally and replicating between them the list of feeds they've found. Over time they build up a global index of products or a complete list of products in a niche market. They use this as a paid for search tool.
