7 -In any system that processes data and [[reference metadata>>doc:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]] the system itself is a series of processes and in each of these processes the data or [[reference metadata>>doc: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: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:Glossary.Component.WebHome]] that are used.

25 -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.
