A system and a method for managing a workflow based on a grid are provided to perform a distributed and parallel workflow process based on a web service, and efficiently assign grid resources in a grid environment. A workflow description generator(310) generates a description of the workflow, and mapping information between works of the workflow and the grid resources(370) executing the work. A resource assignment manager(320) assigns the works of the workflow to the grid resources based on the mapping information by parsing the description of the workflow. A request manager(330) selects and requests the grid resources to execute the work by referring to the description. A resource mapping tool(340) interprets the work according to a request of the request manager, selects the grid resources for executing the work from an ontology based inferring model, and transfers selected grid resource information to the request manager. A workflow supervisor(350) performs the workflow based on the mapping information.
