• I shall introduce some ideas of messaging processes by using traffic and transportation as a metaphor.
• Three major types of processes, ie., workflow, entity-relation and messaging.
• Elements of the messaging processes are such as process, messages, messenger, agents...
• An ontology and structural framework of messaging processes will be developed for modelling. The first target application to model is a e-shopping web service.
