18. The automated reasoning system of claim 17 further comprising a rules-based reasoning module.
17. An automated reasoning system adapted for automatically adding process nodes to print production workflows by inferring knowledge from asset metadata tags and using said knowledge during process network generation, said automated reasoning system comprising: a module adapted to provide a print product description; a module adapted to extract asset metadata from a plurality of resources associated with said print product description; a processor adapted to process said asset metadata through said automated reasoning system to infer predefined characteristics from said asset metadata to form inferred metadata; and a module adapted to utilize said inferred metadata to add and parameterize a process node including said inferred metadata to a process network.
