Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a formal email workflow model based on
traditional email, which enables the user to define and execute ad-hoc
workflows in an intuitive way. This model paves the way for semantic
annotation of implicit, well-defined workflows, thus making them explicit and
exposing the missing information in a machine processable way. Grounding
this work within the Social Semantic Desktop 1 via appropriate ontologies
means that this information can be exploited for the benefit of the user. This
will have a direct impact on their personal information management - given
email is not just a major channel of data exchange between desktops, but it also
serves as a virtual working environment where people collaborate. Thus the
presented workflow model will have a concrete manifestation in the creation,
organization and exchange of semantic desktop data.
