Introducing multiple knowledge to workflow modeling

Abstract

Constructing the abstraction model of physical world is an important step of model-based reasoning. This paper applies multi-knowledge to the general abstraction theory of physical world and uses the general framework representing abstraction to propose the multi-workflow modeling process, including workflow behavior model, workflow function model and workflow teleology model. The ontology linkages between proposed three models are built up and the multi-workflow model framework is characterized from three levels: model transforming level, model objects sharing level and multi-knowledge mapping level. The present multi-workflow model truly enriches the model basis for model-based reasoning.
