I'm currently looking for any workflow and business process analysis

the form of or easily translatable into workflow diagrams to serve as
a strawman. Processing manuals may help, but likely are too detailed
for my current purposes. Please let me know if you have anything that
might help.
Have you already looked at OAIS? (Open Archival Information System)
It's a reference model, so goes over the sorts of things that digital
archives should do as they're ingesting / storing / disseminating things,
but isn't a specific implementation.
Current version (2002):

There's also drafts as they're working towards making it an ISO standard.
I'm not sure if this is the most recent version or not, but it matches the
last draft ID (p-1-1) up for review on the CCSDS site:
