process
The notion of process is used to represent the chain of activities mobilised to produce an output, a publication or a composition, or to update the content or data structure of an infrastructure. A process may include only one activity.
The order of execution of the various activities within a process can be specified or unspecified. The same activity can contribute to several independent processes.
Each process can be linked to the preceding process to establish consistent and reusable sequences of activities in the framework of 'process template’.
A process can mention an infrastructure (on which it is based) in two different ways:
- if an infrastructure is involved throughout the whole process (i.e., it concerns all activities), it should be registered as the root infrastructure of the process, or
- if an infrastructure is used only at one point in a given chain of activities, then it should be incorporated into the chain of activities in the appropriate place.
A new process can be created using the process table or the process template table.
