A Business Semantic-Oriented Workflow Description Method

The main object of workflow description is to map business requirements quickly and accurately mapped to business process. An approach of business semantic-oriented workflow description method is proposed aiming at the current workflow description method lack of resource allocation means oriented business staff. It provides a description way that business staff familiar with through which business elements can be polymerized in business-level. The approach reflects the of business staff as the core of business description with the features of simple, convenient plug and highly abstract. Experiments show that it can effectively reduce the required workflow description time.
