In this paper we propose a new form architecture called eXtensible Dynamic Form (XDF) to facilitate data collection process of supplier discovery. This architecture provides users with flexibility to dynamically extend the base form structure with new form components, or to reuse the existing form components by intelligent search. With XDF, the supplier's capability information can be entered in the structure and format that fit different intentions of individual users. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed architecture is valuable for facilitating the supplier discovery process.
