Abstrakt: In the agricultural products trading platform, a large number of transaction processes have similar structures and functions. With the development of information technology and the increasing demand of the market, the basic infrastructure and information system of agricultural product market will be continuously improved, upgraded and merged, and the existing business systems need to be migrated to a new platform. For the workflow systems' upgrading, as well as simulating and testing the existing processes in different environments, it needs to re-model a large number of workflow process definitions. To address the problem, this paper propose a method to export and import business processes based on process templates. In order to ensure the integrity of the exported process' structure and semantic, and the imported process' consistency with the current system's resource, a process template was proposed to describe the business process. By the comparison of systems' resources and executive roles which based on the constraint relationship with business process and resource conditions, this paper discuss several conversion rules to convert the processes and make it conform to the semantic of local template. This paper also propose a relational schema model for the new process files' storage, while identifying the particular entity of introduced processes based on their dependences and constraints, and checking the conflicts of the data between local and introduced processes. Ultimately it achieve the purpose of process definitions' relocation between isomorphic workflow platforms through a case study of agricultural product trade flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
