Abstract
The ease of creation, modification, distribution, compatibility and above all, a large market opportunity drive the creator and the consumer to move towards the digital age to create and use their IP digitally called Digital Intellectual Property (DIP). But the DIP infringements in E-commerce drives us to design a unified generic model that can manage Digital Intellectual Property involving rules, regulations, practices, business models etc. In this scenario an attempt has been made here to design a well-structured prototype that brings all components of the E-commerce system into a common platform with a view to offer a model of a unified integrated ecommerce system. We have tried a maiden attempt to use UML to design the model of such system, which is the recent trend of software engineering practice. This allows developing a very flexible model that facilitates maintainability, reusability, portability and other Object Oriented features inherent in the new E-commerce scenario.
