Abstract

This paper presents a method for semantically aligning business processes. We provide a representation of Petri nets in the ontology language OWL, to semantically enrich the business process models. On top of this, we propose a technique for semantically aligning business processes to support (semi)automatic interconnectivity of business processes. This semantic alignment is improved by a background ontology modeled with a specific UML Profile allowing to visually model it. The different parts of our proposal, which reduces communication efforts and solves interconnectivity problems, are discussed.
