Abstract

The paper presents Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) as valuable information sources for context information for accomplishing intelligent information support. First, the main advantages of WfMS for retrieving context are presented. Two projects from our research department show different approaches for retrieving workflow context and enabling an intelligent information support. However, they have to cope with the absence of a comprehensive representation concept for workflow context in WfMS. To overcome this, this paper presents a comprehensive classification scheme for workflow context.
