4.2.2 Workflow Editor based on OWL-S

The Workflow Editor is part of the Workflow Toolchain developed by DFKI, the central basis for creating workflows in the CAxMan project. The component is an infrastructure component that allows users to create, adapt and enhance workflows of varying complexity.

• The component provides a form-based user interface to deploy services in the CAxMan infrastructure using the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) to specify the technical functions with their input and output formats.
• With another graphical user interface of the editing component the deployed services can be combination to sequences, so called workflows.
• These created workflows are stored in a repository of the CAxMan infrastructure.
• Furthermore, this approach can also be combined with other planning components, because it is based on WSDL and the Web Ontology Language (OWL-S), standards for service and workflow description.
