processrelated

Processrelated is a compound adjective used across domains to denote a relationship to a process. It is not a formal standard term, but it appears in metadata, tagging schemes, and glossaries to indicate that an artifact, event, or data item is linked to a process. Its meaning is best defined by the context in which it is used.

In business process management, processrelated artifacts include process maps, standard operating procedures, process owners and roles, performance metrics, and change requests that affect a specific process. Tagging items as processrelated helps organize artifacts and enables impact analysis, traceability, and governance.

In software and IT operations, processrelated can refer to resources or data connected to a program execution or to process management features. Examples include process-related logs, events about a process, metrics such as cycle time or CPU usage attributed to a particular process, or user interface elements that present process-linked information.

In data modeling and knowledge organization, a processrelated relationship links entities to a process, supporting lineage, provenance, and auditability. This can facilitate query and reporting that shows how data and objects participate in or are affected by specific processes.

Because the term is broad and context-dependent, it is advisable to define it within a project’s glossary and prefer explicit terms (for example, process-related logs or process-linked resources) to avoid ambiguity. Related concepts include process, business process management, workflow, procedure, incident management, and governance.
