Procedural Knowledge Representation A new challenge in electronic record management
Workflow management Users Rola Rola Rola Rola Rola Role Role Processes Organizations
Procedural Knowledge Road Map • BPMN - Business Process Modelling Notation, BPMI, 11.02 • XPDL - XML Process Definition Language, WfMC, 07.02 • Wf-XML - Workflow Interoperability Binding, WfMC, 11.01
BPMN and XPDL extensions • BPMN extension (BPMN+) • idea - standard well-known notation for both process definition adjusted to the needs for process instance • ICONS’ approach - a BPMN extension to visualise process execution • XPDL extension (XPDL+) • performer relationships (WPA) • pre & post conditions
Conclusions • IT contribution to archives is not simply the digital conversions and storage • Knowledge management an important discipline for archive and electronic record management • Procedural knowledge represents a new dimension of archive resources • Cross-fertilization between KM and Archive Management fields may bring important results
