Management of Workflow System By Ontology

摘要

This research attempts to attack this problem employing advanced information technologies including Ontologies and Petri-nets. The state-of-the-art ontology editing system Protege has been used to build the ontology of an organization under consideration and plug-ins has been build on top of it to create the workflows graphically. The workflow created will be checked for its consistency under the guidance and principles of Petri-nets. Finally, the workflow can be executed dynamically along with the actual happening of an activity for the control and confirmation of each action detail. The master controller will be given the capability to master the overall situation and ensuring the required resources, including man-power and devices, will be allocated correctly.
