Abstract

We consider the use of XML (Extensible Markup Language) for applications involving discrete processes. Examples of such processes include production scheduling, process planning, workflow, business process re-engineering, simulation, process realization process modeling, and project management. We begin by considering what process meta data is and how is can be used, before looking at an example of how to design an XML vocabulary for the exchange of process meta data.
