Abstract
Workflow management systems provide functions for process modeling, implementation and automation. Many systems do not allow modeling organizational goals and relating these goals with the processes which enable them. The method OSSAD provides models and project management guidelines to this effort. But this method is not sufficient to fully support workflow management. In order to do so, we define Workey as an extension of OSSAD, to enable workflow specification, implementation and automation for the web.
