LInked Data Services (LIDS) denote the integration of data providing services and Linked Data. Linked Data Services can be used to open up data silos to the Web of Data. LIDS define interface conventions that are compatible to Linked Data principles and are defined by lightweight formal model that enables the automatic creation of LIDS interfaces and the automatic integration of links to LIDS in existing data sets.
The main characteristic to be aware of in these tools is that BE is primarily rule-based (using an embedded rule engine), whereas BW and iProcess are orchestration / flow engines. In BE we can use a state diagram to indicate a sequence of states which may define what process / rules apply, but this is really just another way of specifying a particular type of rules (i.e. state transition rules).
The main advantages to specifying behavior as declarative rules are:
Handling complex, event-driven behavior and choreography
Iterative development, rule-by-rule
The main advantages of flow diagrams and BPMN-type models are:
Ease of understanding (especially for simpler process routes)
Process paths are pre-determined and therefore deemed guaranteeable.
In combination these tools provide many of the IT capabilities required in an organization. For example, a business automation task uses BW to consolidate information from multiple existing sources, with human business processes for tasks such as process exceptions managed by iProcess. BE is used to consolidate (complex) events from systems to provide business information, or feed into or drive both BW and iProcess, and also monitors end-to-end system and case performance.
Orchestra is a complete solution to handle long-running business processes orchestration. It is based on the OASIS standard BPEL (Business Process Execution Language)
Process, workflow, orchestration abstraction that provides programming language support for different process micro domains like concurrency, document management...
