Abstract

The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO) is an ontology for describing the workflow associated with the publication of a document. It forms part of SPAR, a suite of Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies.

Introduction

The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO) is a simple ontology written in OWL 2 DL for the characterization of the main stages in the workflow associated with the publication of a document (e.g. being written, under review, XML capture, page design, publication to the Web).

Classes

stepcback to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/Step

An atomic unit of a workflow, that may be characterized by a starting time and an ending time, and may be associated with one or more events. A workflow step usually involves some input information, material or energy needed to complete the step, and some output information, material or energy produced by that step. In the case of a publishing workflow, a step typically results in the creation of a publication entity, usually by the modification of another pre-existing publication entity, e.g. the creation of an edited paper from a rough draft, or of an HTML representation from an XML mark-up.

workflowcback to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/Workflow

A sequence of connected steps, representing a sequence of publishing operations undertaken by agents. A workflow may be seen as an abstract model of real work.
