<dc:description xml:lang="en">This ontology ("wfdesc") describes an abstract workflow description structure, which on the top level is defined as a wfdesc:Workflow.
A wfdesc:Workflow contains several wfdesc:Process instances, associated using the wfdesc:hasSubProcess property. Each of these (and the workflow itself) wfdesc:hasInput and wfdesc:hasOutput some wfdesc:Parameter (wfdesc:Input or wfdesc:Output). An wfdesc:Artifact is associated with a wfdesc:Parameter using wfdesc:hasArtifact. The wfdesc:Workflow also wfdesc:hasDataLink several wfdesc:DataLink instances, which forms the connection between parameters.
Thus this ontology allows the description a direct acyclic graph, or a dataflow.
This ontology is meant as an upper ontology for more specific workflow definitions, and as a way to express abstract workflows. The wfprov ontology shows how to link these descriptions to a provenance trace of a workflow execution.</dc:description>

<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">wfdesc:Artifact is used to provide information about a class of artifacts. For example, it can be used to specify the datatype of a dataset or the structure of a document.
An wfdesc:Artifact is associated with a wfdesc:Parameter using wfdesc:hasArtifact.
The distinction between a parameter and artifact is that the parameter can be customized to describe the particular role the artifact plays with regards to the process (and can be linked using wfdesc:DataLink) - while the wfdesc:Artifact can describe the syntactic and semantic datatype.</rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">A configuration is a kind of parameter to a wfdesc:Process (linked using wfdesc:hasConfiguration) to indicate a setting, flag or customization which somewhat modifies or controls the behaviour of the wfdesc:Process.
Different workflow systems have stronger or weaker differentiation between inputs and configurations, so a wfdesc:Configuration MAY also be a wfdesc:Input in the case of a dynamic configuration provided by the workflow itself.
Note that attributes which define or specify the process to invoke, like a wf4ever:script, or a wf4ever:serviceURI of a wf4ever:WebService, are not normally considered Configurations.</rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">wfdesc:DataLink is used to represent data dependencies between wfdesc:Process descriptions. It means that the artifact generated at an wfdesc:Output (identified using wfdesc:hasSource) will be used by a wfdescInput (identified using wfdesc:hasSink).
The wfdesc:Processes that owns the wfdesc:Parameter instances which are the source and sink of a wfdesc:DataLink must be wfdesc:hasSubProcess of a the same wfdesc:Workflow which wfdesc:hasDataLink the data link, or be be parameters of that same workflow.
Thus links can only be made within a wfdesc:Workflow - although ports owned by the workflow itself appear both inside and outside the workflow (in opposite roles).</rdfs:comment>

<rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://purl.org/wf4ever/wfdesc"/>
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.org/wf4ever/wfdesc#Process"/>
<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">A wfdesc:Workflow is a directed graph in which the nodes are wfdesc:Process instances and the edges (wfdesc:DataLink instances) represent data dependencies between the constituent wfdesc:Process descriptions.
The resource that contains the wfdesc:WorkflowDefinition (say the XML file saved from a workflow designer tool) can be specified with wfdesc:hasWorkflowDefinition. Research objects might aggregate a wfdesc:Workflow, a wfdesc:WorkflowDefinition, or (recommended) both.
A wfdesc:Workflow defines associated wfdesc:Process using wfdesc:hasSubProcess. A specialisation of this property is wfdesc:hasSubWorkflow, signifying that the process is a wfdesc:Workflow itself, which is further described in a similar fashion.
As a subclass of wfdesc:Process a wfdesc:Workflow can also define wfdesc:hasInput/wfdesc:hasOutput parameters - these would be inputs taken at workflow execution time, and final outputs of the workflow. (Note: Not all dataflow systems have this concept of workflow parameters)
wfdesc:Parameter descriptions are linked using wfdesc:DataLink descriptions associated with the wfdesc:Workflow using wfdesc:hasDataLink.
A wfdesc:Parameter defined with wfdesc:hasInput on a wfdesc:Workflow is considered an wfdesc:Input "outside" the workflow (ie. if it is a subworkflow), but an wfdesc:Output "inside" the workflow (where it can be connected to a wfdesc:Input of a wfdesc:Process). Thus such parameters can be linked "through" the workflow without having a "mirrored" port inside.
Example:
```
@prefix wfdesc: <http://purl.org/wf4ever/wfdesc#> .
:outerWorkflow a wfdesc:Workflow ;
wfdesc:hasSubWorkflow :innerWorkflow ;
wfdesc:hasSubProcess :procA, :procC .
:procA a wfdesc:Process ;
wfdesc:hasOutput :param1 .
:procC a wfdesc:Process ;
wfdesc:hasInput :param2 ;
wfdesc:hasOutput :param3 .
:innerWorkflow a wfdesc:Workflow ;
wfdesc:hasInput :param4 ;
wfdesc:hasOutput :param5 ;
wfdesc:hasProcess :procB .
:procB a wfdesc:Process ;
wfdesc:hasInput :param6 ;
wfdesc:hasOutput :param7 .
:innerWorkflow wfdesc:hasDataLink
[ wfdesc:hasSource :param4; wfdesc:hasSink :param6 ],
[ wfdesc:hasSource :param7; wfdesc:hasSink :param5 ] .
:outerWorkflow wfdesc:hasDataLink
[ wfdesc:hasSource :param1; wfdesc:hasSink :param4 ],
[ wfdesc:hasSource :param5; wfdesc:hasSink :param2 ] .
```
In this example :param1 is the output of :procA. :param1 is the source in a datalink that goes to the input :param4 of the :innerWorkflow. :param4 is however also the source of an inner datalink, going to input :param6 of the nested :procB.
From this :param4 is both an wfdesc:Input and wfdesc:Output (which is why these two classes are not disjoint)</rdfs:comment>

A wfdesc:Workflow description can specify its wfdesc:WorkflowDefinition using wfdesc:hasWorkflowDefinition. This is typically only done for the top-level workflow - subworkflows without a wfdesc:hasWorkflowDefinition are assumed to be embedded within the definition of the parent workflow, except where the sub-workflows are included in the parent by reference, in which case they would have a different wfdesc:hasWorkflowDefinition.</rdfs:comment>
