Hi again, this is my last question and the more general one of the day :-)

I’m looking for way of representing and executing simple "business processes" 
in Pharo and a way of declaring domain ontologies/taxonomies.

I didn’t find any lib around this subjects except some projects in other 
smalltalk dialects.

I just wander if somebody has done some work in these field. I’m also 
interested in (KISS) design discussions around these topics, hence this email.

I don’t want to do a full fledged business process middleware. 

I would need :
- a way to represent simple business processes (succession of activities with 
logic gates (and/or/xor) => I might be able to do that by myself).
- a way to execute these processes (routines) in a semi-aotumatic manner => 
This looks more difficult to do to me.
=> my aim is to execute recurrent routines (my routines) with the help of a 
Pharo application


For such a system, I also need a way to categorize information context. Again, 
I don’t think I need a full fledged ontology implementation like Description 
Logic (or whatever). I think I’ll be happy with information tagging according 
to a predefined taxonomy. Instead of flat tags, I’d like them to implement some 
sort of multiple inheritance. For instance, I may need a tag #soccer that  
"inherit" #sport.    

Any information regarding taxonomy tagging in Pharo ? (Or eventually ontology?).



TIA,

Cédrick
