I know of two Workflow DTD's. The one seems to be emerging
beeing a strategic element for the IBM web services effort
(altough the DTD is open). It is the WSFL (Web Services Flow
Language - http://www-4.ibm.com/software/solutions/webservices/resources.html)
which is pretty general, and an even more general one from
the W3C submissions, XTND (XML Transition Network Definition
http://www.w3.org/TR/xtnd/ ). There was an "official" workflow
standard initiative some years ago, but it became really big
(see www.wfmc.org for the Workflow Management Coalition).
Don't think these would give "the" solution, but (mainly the
IBM spec) provide a good vocabulary. incze
