Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for generating templates of nodes to structure content objects and steps to process the content objects. A template is generated having a plurality of first level nodes representing a flow of tasks. A set of second level nodes representing a flow of steps is generated for at least one of the first level nodes to collectively perform the task represented by the first level node. A content object including information for a step represented by the node is associated with at least one node in the second level. Links are generated among the first level nodes and in each set of second level nodes indicating a logical ordering of the nodes and a direction of the flow of the tasks represented by the first level nodes and the flow of steps represented by the second level nodes. An end-user graphical user interface is generated from the generated nodes and links to direct an end user through the flow of tasks and steps represented by the nodes.
