block (BC-BMT-WFM)
|
An elementary structure element of a workflow definition.
A block always contains a consistent arrangement of steps and operators and has one beginning and one end. The consistency and robustness of a workflow definition is ensured because a block is always created when a new step is created, or an undefined step changed. Similarly, when individual steps are deleted, cut, or inserted, the entire block in which the step is located is affected.
