Validating Process Refinement with Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
A crucial task in process management is the validation of process refinements. A process refinement is a process description in a more fine-grained representation. The refinement is with respect to either an abstract model or a component’s principle behaviour model. We define process refinement based on the execution set semantics. Predecessor and successor relations of the activities are described in an ontology in which the refinement can be validated by concept satisfiability checking.

Multilingual Ontology Mapping in Practice: A Support System for Domain Experts
Ontology mapping is a task aiming to align semantic resources in order to foster the re-use of information and to enable the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate. When ontology mapping algorithms are applied in practice, a manual refinement is furtherly necessary for validating the correctness of the resulted resource, especially, as it happens in real-world ca...
متن کاملEvolutionary Discovery of Multi-relational Association Rules from Ontological Knowledge Bases
In the Semantic Web context, OWL ontologies play the key role of domain conceptualizations while the corresponding assertional knowledge is given by the heterogeneous Web resources referring to them. However, being strongly decoupled, ontologies and assertional bases can be out of sync. In particular, an ontology may be incomplete, noisy, and sometimes inconsistent with the actual usage of its ...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Complexity of OWL Justifications
In this paper, we present an approach to determining the cognitive complexity of justifications for entailments of OWL ontologies. We introduce a simple cognitive complexity model and present the results of validating that model via experiments involving OWL users. The validation is based on test data derived from a large and diverse corpus of naturally occurring justifications. Our contributio...
متن کاملAutomatic Workflow Generation and Modification by Enterprise Ontologies and Documents
This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...
