Abstract

Publication processes within Digital Libraries are seldom supported by a workflow management system (Wfms). Publication workflows are often described within the application logic due to its data dependency -- publication processes are data-driven. Though, documents and the processes should not be treated independently of each other. Rather, processes should dynamically react to changes of document structure and content. We present an approach for flexible, data-centric publication workflows. The approach extends the control-flow perspective of a Wfms with concepts for handling process adaption at run-time, depending on a document's structure and its content.
