A user wants to add a high-level process to a map.

Process can serve as inputs as well as outputs in maps. For example exposure to a drug can be a process that originates an interaction (e.g. inhibition).
Requirements for Cytoscape
TBD
Importance
Many maps refer to processes that are important in the context of the map, even if the details of the process are not. A process is an abstraction of those activities.

A process differs from a VirtualCompartment, in that species can go into a VirtualCompartment by way of binding. A process has no notion of inside or outside.
