ABSTRACT
The trust of the end consumer into the alimentary products which are consumed became to be
influenced, in a significant percentage by the eistence of some systems for monitoring the
traceability! This fact is determined by the growing eigency related to the "uality of the alimentary
products of the contemporary consumer, eigency determined by the huge amount of a#ailable
information related to this sub$ect, information which determine a continuous growth of the
%educational le#els for feeding& of the consumer! In the first part of the paper is presented a short
re#iew of the main concepts regarding databases and in the second part are presented se"uences
from the conceptual model of processing and from organi'ational model of processing from an
information system for monitoring the traceability on the wine supply chain!
KEYWORDS
Information system, traceability on wine supply chain, food safe and security
INTRODUCTION
According to Regulation no. 178/2002 of the Euroean !arliament and of the "ouncil of 28
#anuary 2002$ the traceabilit reresents %the ability to trace and follow a food, feed, food-
producing animal or substance intended to be, or epected to be incorporated into a food
or feed, through all stages of production, processing and distribution&, &here the concet
of !""# 'or !""#$t%!!( reresents ) any substance or product, whether processed, partially
processed or unprocessed, intended to be, or reasonably epected to be ingested by
humans*$ including )drin(, chewing gum and any substance, including water, intentionally
incorporated into the food during its manufacture, preparation or treatment*.
DATA AND DATABASES
+n information technology is a difference ,et&een information - at the semantic le.el -
and data - a reresentation of a information.
Data ca& be/ te0t$ num,er$ imagine$ sound$ &hich can ,e stored and rocessed using
comuters. 1ata used in real life can ha.e different tyes li2e/ date/time$ ersons3 name etc.
translated in a rogramming language the nature of data it is imlemented ,y data tyes.
A,out information it is ossi,le to ha.e a de,ate only after the data semantic is 2no&n.
4ore secific$ num,er 125 is a data that$ standalone$ doesn3t reresents .ery much6 ,ut if is
associated &ith the identification num,er '+1( of a artner then immediately can ,e defined
the utility of this information.
+n order to ,ecome information a data must ,e rocessed.
A #ataba$e reresents a set of data &hich are related$ together &ith data descrition and
relationshis ,et&een them. A relati"&al #ataba$e reresents a set of structured data$ using
the homogeneity criteria$ into ta,les.
A table contains homogenous data from a secific su,7ect 'for e0amle$ ta,le
"ustomers &ill contains data regarding all registered customers that ,elong to an

Esually the foreign 2ey has the same name and the same data tye that the field from

DESIGNING PROCESSING FOR AN INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR
MONITORING TRACEABILITY ON THE WINE SUPPLY CHAIN
+n the method 4erise 'Methode d3Etude et Realisation InformatiDue ar le Sous -

used the follo&ed models/
'a( concetual model of rocessing '"4!(6
',( organi8ational model of rocessing '<4!(.
9he role of the concetual model of rocessing is to resent the oerations from the
designed system in order to fulfill de functionalities and caa,ilities of the roosed
system. +f the concetual model of rocessing is detailed and all oerations are allocated to
the deartments 'administrati.e units of the organi8ation( and for each oeration is
secified the tye 'automat$ manual etc.( &ill ,e o,tained the organi8ational model of

CONCLUSIONS
+n the last years the focusing on the enhancing security and safe of the food has
determined designing$ de.eloing and deloying of information systems caa,le to monitor
in a continuous and efficient &ay of the acti.ities from the food suly chain. An imortant
role is layed ,y the rocessing designing ,oth at the concetual and organi8ational le.el.
9his aer rooses t&o models '"4! and <4!( &hich are included in an information
system for monitoring the tracea,ility on the &ine suly chain.
