Process Representation Using Architectural Forms: Accentuating the Positive
Joshua Lubell, Craig I. Schlenoff · 1999
This paper discusses how we are using architectural forms in an XML representation of the proposed PSL (Process Specification Language) [SCH 99-2] [SCH 99-1] [PSL] standard. We begin with an overview of PSL and how it can be presented as XML. Next we provide an example showing our use of architectural forms. Then we summarize the benefits of our approach and discuss some related issues. We assume the reader is already familiar with architectural forms and has seen examples of them being used. If this is not the case, the reader would be well advised to read some introductory material such as chapters 9 and 10 of David Megginson's book Structuring XML Documents [MEG 98] or Eliot Kimber's on-line tutorial [KIM 97] before proceeding further. We do not assume prior knowledge of PSL. Overview of PSL
