The document discusses workflow and business process management standards. It defines key standards like BPMN, XPDL, BPEL, Wf-XML, and BPAF. These standards address areas like process modeling notation, process definition formats, executable processes, runtime integration between processes, and analytics formats. The goal of these standards is to enable business-level agility by allowing businesses to change processes without programming through separation of responsibilities between business and IT.
