A Scenario Generation Framework is described. The Framework provides the organizational infrastructure through which scenario data—a shared set of data supporting enterprise application coordination and interoperation—can effectively be managed from a centralized location. From this location, the framework provides capabilities whereby scenario data, described using a published data representation format, can be copied, viewed, formally compared, modified and combined with other segments of scenario data. Also from this location, suitably transformed data can be communicated to applications for use in initializing their execution in concert with other applications. In the preferred embodiment of the framework, workflow management capabilities are included to allow distribution and control of data preparation activities and an integrated workstation is made available to facilitate data manipulation and modification.
