| 6 | |||
| 7 | In any system that processes data and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]] the system itself is a series of processes and in each of these processes the data or [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]] may undergo a series of transitions. This is particularly true of its path from raw data to published data and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]]. The process model presented here is a generic model that can capture key information about these stages in both a textual way and also in a more formalised way by linking to specific identifiable objects, and by identifying software [[components>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Component.WebHome]] that are used. | ||

| 19 | ==== 12.2.2.1 Narrative ==== | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | The Process is a set of hierarchical ProcessSteps. Each ProcessStep can take zero or more //IdentifiableArtefact//s as input and output. Each of the associations to the input and output //IdentifiableArtefact//s (ProcessArtefact) can be assigned a localID. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | The computation performed by a ProcessStep is optionally described by a Computation, which can identify the software used by the ProcessStep and can also be described in textual form (+description) in multiple language variants. The Transition describes the execution of ProcessSteps from +source ProcessStep to +target ProcessStep based on the outcome of a +condition that can be described in multiple language variants. | ||
