Abstract
A method includes providing a baseline workflow as an electronic representation of an actual workflow, the baseline workflow including baseline tasks, data items, and baseline data scopes, and providing a fragment workflow as an electronic representation of an actual fragment workflow, the fragment workflow including at least one fragment task, and at least one fragment data scope. A baseline data scope is identified as an affected data scope based on a structural change operation, the baseline workflow and the fragment workflow, and the affected data scope is compared to the at least one fragment data scope to identify at least one change operation. The fragment and baseline workflows are integrated based on the structural change operation to provide an integrated workflow, and the at least one data scope change operation is executed to provide at least one integrated data scope in the integrated workflow.
