METHOD FOR THE TRACEABILITY OF DATA IN A COLLABORATIVE SERVICE-ORIENTED FRAMEWORK
A method for data management in a collaborative service-oriented workshop for processing objects associated with data representing actual data or processes. After selecting at least one first object including at least one first link, to a second object separate from the first object, at least one second link to a third object is accessed, the second link being included in one of the first and second objects, the third object being separate from the first and second objects. A link is then established between the data associated with the third object and the other of the first and third objects.

11 . A method for data management in a collaborative service-oriented workshop employed in an information technology system, the method adapting the collaborative service-oriented workshop to treat objects associated with data representative of real data and objects associated with data representative of processes, the method comprising:
selecting at least one first object comprising at least one first link to a second object, separate from the first object;
accessing at least one second link to a third object, the second link being comprised in one of the first and second objects, the third object being separate from the first and second objects; and
establishing a third link between the data associated with the third object and the other of the first and second objects.
12 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein the data associated with the first object are representative of a process.
13 . A method according to claim 12 , wherein the data associated with the second object are at least partly obtained from the process, or according to which the process is applied to at least one part of the data associated with the second object.
14 . A method according to claim 11 , further comprising constructing a data tree according to the first and second links.
15 . A method according to claim 11 , the accessing at least one second link and establishing a third link are repeated recursively, to establish a link between data associated with at least two separate objects.
16 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the links contained in one of the objects is stored in a memory in a table of links.
17 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein the process calls up at least one function external to the collaborative service-oriented workshop.
18 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein the objects are stored in a memory in a centralized database.
19 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein the data associated with the objects are stored in a memory in remote devices.
20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions to implement the method according to claim 11 .
