PROCESS-LEVEL METADATA INFERENCE AND MAPPING FROM DOCUMENT ANNOTATIONS

A user annotation entered in association with a content document of a workflow process executed in association with a metadata context-driven processing system is detected. The user annotation entered in association with the content document is analyzed according to a process-level context associated with the content document within the workflow process. Process-level metadata of the workflow process is inferred based upon the analysis of the user annotation according to the process-level context. The inferred process-level metadata is stored as part of the process-level context of the workflow process.
