工作流管理系统中的过程定义模型

通过对工作流系统开放性标准的研究，本文讨论了工作流过程定义交换原理及过程定义隐喻模型。过程定义隐喻模型描述了一个过程定义中最通用的实体、它们之间的联系及用于描述这些实体的基本属性。另外，还定义了一些规则，用于把过程定义组织起来并对公共的过程定义数据进行存取。

A Workflow Process Definition Meta-Model

hrough the research of the standard of interoperability of Workflow system, a Workflow Process Definition Metamodel is discussed in this paper. This MetaModel describes the top level entities contained within a Workflow Process Definition, their relationships and fundamental attributes. It also defines various conventions for grouping process definitions into related process models and the use of common definition data across a number of different process definitions.
