Abstract

Abstract: In the view of problem in lack of information sharing mechanisms at the semantic level among processes, a business process modeling algorithm based on ontology language using concept hierarchy as background knowledge was proposed. The business process modeling by traditional business process languages can be transferred to ontology language (OWL) description so as to realize the semantic sharing of business process. The approach has two main advantages compared with traditional methods: (1) accelerating the building process, minimizing the conversion cost; (2) background knowledge guides the extraction of knowledge resided in database. As a way of validating the approach, part of the sales order process adopted from SAP reference process models was used to construct business process ontology, to validate the method. The gold standard experiments show that this method can correct and effectively construct process ontology.
