UAPF – Unified Algorithmic Process Format

The Unified Algorithmic Process Format (UAPF) is an open specification designed to express enterprise workflows, decisions, exceptions, agent behaviors, identities, and governance artifacts in a single, machine-readable structure.

Purpose

UAPF enables interoperable, auditable, and agent-executable representations of enterprise processes. It brings together established modeling standards and modern AI agent interfaces into a unified schema.
