A method, system, and computer program product for displaying an automatically generated graphical display of a business process flow to facilitate user interaction with enterprise software applications. A compact symbolic annotation language is used in conjunction with a flow generator to automatically generate a computer renderable description of the business process flow. The method commences by defining symbols to form an alphabet to be used in the symbolic annotation language. The compact symbolic language is capable of representing rich semantics including process operations, fork operations, and join operations. Once an agent (e.g., a person, a computer agent) has captured a particular business process flow using symbols of the compact symbolic annotation language, then a computer process performs a mapping of the symbols to a markup language. The markup language can be rendered in a graphical display. The markup language can be HTML/CSS, SVG, UML, or another markup language.
