The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO) is a simple ontology written in OWL 2 DL for the characterization of the main stages in the workflow associated with the publication of a document (e.g. being written, under review, XML capture, page design, publication to the Web).
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/Action
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/Step
An atomic unit of a workflow, that may be characterized by a starting time and an ending time, and may be associated with one or more events. A workflow step usually involves some input information, material or energy needed to complete the step, and some output information, material or energy produced by that step. In the case of a publishing workflow, a step typically results in the creation of a publication entity, usually by the modification of another pre-existing publication entity, e.g. the creation of an edited paper from a rough draft, or of an HTML representation from an XML mark-up.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/Workflow
A sequence of connected steps, representing a sequence of publishing operations undertaken by agents. A workflow may be seen as an abstract model of real work.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/WorkflowExecution
IRI: http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.org/cp/owl/timeindexedsituation.owl#atTime
A step is performed within a time interval.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/executes
This property allows to link a workflow execution to the related workflow description.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/happened
It allows one to link an event to the interval when it happened.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/hasFirstStep
A workflow that starts with a particular step.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/hasNextStep
A property linking a step in a workflow with the step that directly follows it.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/hasPreviousStep
A property linking a step in a workflow with the step that directly precedes it.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/hasStep
The property linking a workflow to a component step.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/involvesAction
The property linking a particular execution of a workflow to an action.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isActionInvolvedIn
The property linking an event to a particular execution of a workflow description.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isExecutedBy
This property allows to link a workflow description to the related workflow execution.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isIntervalFor
It allows one to link an interval describing when an event happened to the related event.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isNeededBy
The property linking a thing required to undertake a workflow step or an event (e.g. an action executing a workflow step) to the step/event itself.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isProducedBy
The property linking something to the workflow step or an event (e.g. an action executing a workflow step) that produces, creates or results in that thing.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/isStepOf
The property linking a step in a workflow to the workflow of which it is a component.
has characteristics: functional
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/needs
The property linking a workflow step or an event (e.g. an action executing a workflow step) to anything required to undertake that step/event.
IRI: http://purl.org/spar/pwo/produces
The property linking a workflow step or an event (e.g. an action executing a workflow step) to the thing that the step/event produces, creates or results in.

An event with at least one agent that is participant in it and that is linked to a workflow execution and to a step of the related workflow description.
