Abstract: | When modelling inter-organisational workflow it is important not to make assumptions such as with regard to the formats of
the data exchanged between the workflow participants or the technical infrastructures and platforms, as they can restrict
the range of possible workflow management implementations. The approach presented in this paper allows for the conceptual
modelling of workflow processes using primitive constructs such as nodes, rules and business documents. The paper presents
both a graphical notation for modelling workflows as well as a mapping of the workflow constructs to XML models that follows
the Workflow Management Coalition interoperability standards. This allows the modelled workflow to be interpreted and executed
by a variety of workflow engines. |
