Abstract

The data model for process documentation $\cite{processDocDM}$
provides descriptions of different ways in which processes may be
documented. The primary method involves recording messages exchanged
between interacting services, as well as the state of those services
at the time of message exchange. These messages and states may have
their contents transformed when recorded due to application
dependent security and scalability requirements. The documentation
style describes the types of transformations that can be performed.
An actor that processes the recorded documentation must understand
the transformations performed on it in order to interpret or utilise
it appropriately. This document is a profile of several basic
documentation style transformations that are likely to be useful in
application domains that use process documentation. It is not
intended to be exhaustive; other profiles may be provided of
alternative documentation style transformations which may be generic
or more specific in nature.
