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).
The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO) is a simple ontology for describing the steps in the workflow associated with the publication of a document or other publication entity.

The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO)
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.
needs
The property linking a step in a workflow to the workflow of which it is a component.
is step of
The property linking a workflow to a component step.
has step
A step is performed within a time interval.
at time
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.
The property linking a particular execution of a workflow to an action.
involves action
It allows one to link an event to the interval when it happened.
happened
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.
It allows one to link an interval describing when an event happened to the related event.
is interval for
A property linking a step in a workflow with the step that directly follows it.
has next step
This property allows to link a workflow description to the related workflow execution.
is executed by
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.
is produced by
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.
A property linking a step in a workflow with the step that directly precedes it.
has previous step
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.
action
A workflow that starts with a particular step.
has first step
A step cannot need a resource that will be produced by a following step
is action involved in
The property linking an event to a particular execution of a workflow description.
