Efforts toward defining a standard for workflow interoperability began in 1994 with th Workflow Reference Model from the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). From that model other standardization efforts have evolved—from OMG’s jointFlow specification to the Simple Workflow Access Protocol. The WfMC’s Wf-XML focuses on a simple subset of SWAP for a first version of a standard, with the aim of future extension.

This paper describes the rationale for workflow interoperability in the context of electronic commerce and as a means of implementing value chains that operate across and between organisations. The paper outlines initiatives undertaken by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) to promote this capability through the use of Standards. A status update on which vendors can offer this capability is provided together with an explanation of how the capability of particular vendors can be assessed.

This paper distinguishes, at a high level, the differences between workflow engines and simple trigger based routines. Its main function is to clarify the segmentation between autonomous and embedded workflow deployments.

Workflow is the automation of a business process, in whole or in part, during which documents, information, or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.

A workflow management system defines, creates and manages the execution of workflows, through the use of software, running on one or more workflow engines, which is able to interpret the process definition, interact with workflow participants, and, where required, invoke the use of information technology (IT) tools and applications.
