Ontology-Driven Business Process Design

چکیده
Rapid business change demands the ability to adapt, rearrange and reinvent business processes while keeping the alignment with supporting information systems. However, such tasks require a business process to be consistently specified and modelled. To address this issue, this paper describes an organizational taxonomy that defines a controlled vocabulary to design business processes using the concepts of information entity, business process, organizational unit, actor, business schedule and business goal.

Semantic Process Modeling - Design and Implementation of an Ontology-based Representation of Business Processes
An extension of process modeling languages is designed which allows representing the semantics of model element labels which are formulated in natural language by using concepts of a formal ontology. This combination of semiformal models with formal ontologies will be characterized as semantic process modeling. The approach is exemplarily applied to the languages EPC (Event-driven Process Chain...
متن کاملOntologies for Model-Driven Business Transformation
Semantic markup languages such as RDF (resource description framework) and OWL (Web ontology language) are increasingly used to externalize metadata or ontology about business data, software, and services in a declarative form. Such externalized descriptions in ontological format are utilized for purposes ranging from search and retrieval to information integration and to business transformatio...
متن کاملDeveloping Ontologies to Enable Knowledge Management: Integrating Business Process and Data Driven Approaches
A knowledge management system must support the integration of information from disparate sources, wherein a decision maker manipulates information that someone else conceptualised and represented. So the system must minimise ambiguity and imprecision in interpreting shared information. This can be achieved by representing the shared information using ontologies. There are typically two approach...
متن کاملVocabularies, ontologies, and rules for enterprise and business process modeling and management
Vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules are key components of a model-driven approach to enterprise computing in a networked economy. Enterprise vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules do not exist in isolation but serve to support business processes. While many have recognized the importance of vocabularies, ontologies, and business rules in business process modeling and management, ...
متن کاملKnowledge-based system for collaborative process specification
This paper presents an ontology-based approach for the design of a collaborative business process model (CBP). This CBP is considered as a specification of needs in order to build a collaboration information system (CIS) for a network of organisations. The study is a part of a model driven engineering approach of the CIS in a specific enterprise interoperability framework that will be summarise...
