(((etiCORE Specification

This chapter contains more or less the high-level perspective on the processes in (((etiCORE.<br/>All business processes are modelled in BPMN notation which allows a quick overview concerning participants and exchanged information between the participants and systems.<br/><br/>Due to the distributed systems character of (((etiCORE, these diagrams and descriptions give a common understanding in a more global view, which would not be possible with regarding only use cases or basic processes in a standalone way.<br/><br/>(((etiCORE does not describe in detail all activities and use cases which are needed for the whole process. Some activities or actions only serve as glue to bind the process steps together and depend strongly on the implementation of the underlying system.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, these activities or actions have to be performed to enable the next activity or action, which might be an (((etiCORE specified one.<br/><br/>Thus, these process steps are high-level descriptions and can be implemented in different systems in different ways.<br/>
