Verifying the accuracy and rigor of data exchanged within and between businesses for the purposes of traceability rests on the existence of effective and efficient interoperable information systems that meet users' needs. Interoperability, particularly given the complexities intrinsic to the seafood industry, requires that the systems used by businesses operating along the supply chain share a common technology architecture that is robust, resilient, and evolves as industry needs change. Technology architectures are developed through engaging industry stakeholders in understanding why an architecture is required, the benefits provided to the industry and individual businesses and supply chains, and how the architecture will translate into practical results. This article begins by reiterating the benefits that the global seafood industry can capture by implementing interoperable chain-length traceability and the reason for basing the architecture on a peer-to-peer networked database concept versus more traditional centralized or linear approaches. A summary of capabilities that already exist within the seafood industry that the proposed architecture uses is discussed; and a strategy for implementing the architecture is presented. The 6-step strategy is presented in the form of a critical path.
为实现可追溯性而对企业内部及企业之间交换的数据的准确性和严谨性进行验证，依赖于存在有效且高效的、满足用户需求的可互操作信息系统。互操作性，尤其是考虑到海产品行业固有的复杂性，要求供应链上运营的企业所使用的系统共享一个强大、有弹性且能随行业需求变化而发展的通用技术架构。技术架构是通过让行业利益相关者参与理解为何需要一个架构、该架构为行业及单个企业和供应链带来的好处以及该架构将如何转化为实际成果而开发出来的。本文首先重申全球海产品行业通过实施可互操作的全链可追溯性所能获得的好处，以及将架构基于对等网络数据库概念而非更传统的集中式或线性方法的原因。讨论了拟议架构所采用的海产品行业内已存在的能力的总结；并提出了实施该架构的策略。这一6步策略以关键路径的形式呈现。
