Q:

What's the purpose of the `workflow` tag?

The workflow tag has been applied to 16 questions.
As far as I can tell, this tag has little meaning and no usefulness--practically any question could be tagged with it--so I am thinking of deleting it from the site.
Am I wrong? What are the arguments for keeping it?

A:

Would like to keep the tag workflow
Why?
workflow to our commercial company is "a sequence of connected steps" - in my work, scope and process are used. In FME Workbench the parallel sequences are known as streams. workflow seems to be a generic request of steps or sequences.
Flow (flowchart) is common to workflow:

A:

I think workflow best describes situations where spatial data is being to be handed off between different toolsets and/or different groups of people in an organization.
When there is only one tool, and only one user (or group of users) in a process, calling it workflow is not appropriate.
Also, questions relating to workflow tools like FME or Microsoft Workflow Foundation should be tagged.
By that definition, these would be workflow related:
Data ETL workflow optimization
Workflow for sharing inventory of stormwater network in Open Source GIS?
Automatically delete services after a set period of time
And these are not ...
Want to dissolve adjacent polygons but no common edges
QGIS Workflow Problem
Are there limitations with gdal virtual raster option?
