[daisy] What is workflow exactly?

Just general questions about what exactly is workflow and what it does.

With the workflow feature, would the following use case be possible?

Say you have "quality controlled" documents. These docs have fields like: 
Approvers, Required reviewers, Approval Level: (Draft, For Approval, For 
Review, Approved, etc. ). After the user commits the document, the 
approval level can't be changed by the submitters. It must be changed by 
the reviewer, which has the option of kicking it back, then moving it to 
the approver were it finally goes to the "approved" state. 

As  the document goes through the process, would a timestamped "history" 
of the flow be available (for auditing purposes, who did it, when, etc)?

On a side note, I know you get JMX notifications for "create" "update" 
documents, comments etc. Do you get notifications for "read?" That is - is 
it possible to get a list of users that have accessed a document?


Thanks,
