  order to map artifacts in the community Web
  information space to a process specification

Results of Applying the Model

• Our studies show its effective for identifying
  process related data
• Structure and content tell us what activities are
  performed- usage/update patterns tell us when
  activities are performed
• The model is a living one- it must evolve!
