Abstract:
1. A method for process management in a collaborative service-oriented workshop employed in an information technology system, wherein the collaborative service-oriented workshop is configured to treat objects associated with data representative of real object data or process data, each object including a structure configured to store links to other objects in memory, the method comprising: determining, using a processor, at least one first function; determining, using the processor, at least one information item for execution of the at least one first function; creating, using the processor, a first object associated with a process model, the first object including at least one reference to the at least one first function and at least one reference to the at least one information item; executing, using the processor, the at least one first function in relation with the at least one information item; and performing the following, using the processor, responsive to said executing the at least one first function: wherein the determined at least one first function is determined independently of the structure of the created first object and the associated data, wherein the at least one information item is a reference to the second object, which is associated with a datum that is an output of the at least one first function, wherein the datum has associated therewith metadata, and wherein prior to said executing the at least one first function the metadata does not include a link to the datum and said executing the at least one first function causes creation of a link in the metadata to the datum.
