Workflows

Workflows

Deliberate action that results in the registration of a record into a record keeping system.

Workflows

A planned process in which existing data is collected, organized, and improved in preparation for subsequent use.

Workflows

An activity that includes the preservation of data in a repository, archive, or a deposition database; and curation of data and metadata, database accessions, annotation, and data provenance with the goal of ensuring that data is findable and reusable.

Workflows

Activities and processes in a digital environment that lead to the publication of data, associated metadata and accompanying documentation as a web-based resource.

Workflows

Something that sets into motion some course of events or causes something to happen.

Workflows

The process of preparing and transferring data from an internal resource or system to external networks for the purposes of distribution

Workflows

An entity that represents a set of intended actions or steps executed by one or more agents to achieve some goals.

Workflows

A directive information entity with action specifications and objective specifications as parts, and that may be concretized as a realizable entity that, if realized, is realized in a process in which the bearer tries to achieve the objectives by taking the actions specified.

Workflows

A process that is initiated by an agent who intends to carry out a plan to achieve an objective through one or more actions as described in a plan specification.

Workflows

An intentional planned process performed by an agent within the context of a workflow

Workflows

A specification on the order, transitions and trigger of multiple action specifications that are part of some aggregate action specification.

Workflows

Workflows

Workflows

Workflows

A recorded sequence of connected steps, which may be automated, specifying a reliably repeatable sequence of operations to be undertaken during the lifecycle of data

Workflows

An Event with at least one participatory Agent that executes a Task that typically defined in a Plan as part of a Workflow

Workflows

Something that “happens” during a process as part of a workflow and commonly affects the flow of the process.

Workflows

A system that defines, creates and manages the execution of workflows through the use of software, running on one or more workflow engines, which is able to interpret the process definition, interact with workflow participants and, where required, invoke the use of IT tools and applications.

Workflows

A distinguished part of a workflow comprised of a grouping of processes based on conceptual, thematic, functional and temporal criteria
