WFXML

This document represents a specification for a language based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) [1], designed to model the data transfer requirements set forth in the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC)’s Interoperability Abstract specification [1]. This language will be used as the basis for concrete implementations of the functionality described in the Interoperability Abstract supporting the WfMC’s Interface 4, as defined by the Workflow Reference Model [2].

Specification [WfMC1012], which provides an abstract specification that define the functionality necessary to achieve a defined level of interoperability between two or more workflow engines. This document defines a binding that give concrete type definition and message format for the realization of the abstract specification, using Internet e-mail with MIME encoding as the transport mechanism. This version of the document corrects a number of issues, errors and omissions in the version 1.0 document, first published in October 1996.
