The discussion in indigo are related to Process Descriptions in CoIN-IQ.
Therefore, they are described in the following. As depicted in Figure 5, a process
within CoIN-IQ is described according to the following structure: "Actions and
Subprocesses", "When to apply?", "Objectives, Results, and Quality Measures",
“Roles involved”, “Templates”, “Checklists”, and "Guidelines". The content and
purpose of these sections are described in the following:
“Actions and Subprocesses” describe the steps of the process execution. In CoIN-
IQ, a distinction is made between actions and sub-processes. Actions are atomic
steps that are not refined any further. Sub-processes are described in a separate
process description according to this structure. The super-process contains a link to
the sub-process, followed by a short explanation of the sub-process content.
"When to Apply" gives a short overview of a process' context, thus helping the user
to determine if the current process description is the desired one. To facilitate this
overview even more, it is again structured into three sub-sections: Scope, Trigger
and Viewpoint. “Scope” contains one or two sentences about the thematic range of
a process and thus, the content of a process description. “Trigger” as the second
sub-section describes the condition that starts the execution of a process. These
triggering conditions can be events released from outside IESE (e.g., a customer
telephone call), dependencies with other process executions (e.g., start or finish of
