ABSTRACT:
A method for describing a process flow includes receiving a first root-independent building block and a second root-independent building block, receiving assembly instructions for assembling the first building block and the second building block to describe the process flow, and linking the first building block to the second building block in accordance with the assembly instructions. The first building block describes a first activity and a second building block describes a second activity. The first activity and the second activity correspond to portions of the process flow.
