ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a data processing system including a first file converter converting a set of file formats into an extended markup language format, a software development tool, and a workflow processing system. The software development tool includes a second file converter for rendering the extended markup language format into a unified modeling language graphic, a renderer for rendering a unified modeling language format converted file, a modifier for graphic modification of the rendered file, a third file converter converting the unified modeling language format to the extended markup language format, and means for deploying an extended markup language format converted file to the workflow processing system. The present invention enables to provide a meta workflow system that can be implemented on the level of existing workflow systems by integration.
