Processes in SADAR are not exclusively business processes. They include both business-oriented workflows (insurance claims processing, credit risk analysis, patient registration) and purely technical processes (document ingestion, data transformation, content indexing, asynchronous job orchestration).
They are similar in concept to RosettaNet PIPs that define multi-step process flows.
Processes may be used by planning agents to understand optimal process flows with predecessors defined both within agents as well as the process itself.
Processes may also define SAGAR-like compensating transactions.
