Semantic Business Process Management: A Lifecycle Based Requirements Analysis
Despite of increasing software support for Business Process
Management (BPM), currently there is still a low degree of automation in the
BPM lifecycle, especially when it comes to bridge between the business and IT
view on business processes. The goal of Semantic Business Process
Management is to achieve more automation in BPM by using semantic
technologies. In this paper, we describe on a conceptual level how ontologies
and semantic web service technologies can be used throughout the BPM
lifecycle, consisting of process modeling, implementation, execution, and
analysis phases. The use of semantics in BPM results in new functionality a
Semantic Business Process Management System (SBPMS) has to implement.
For each phase of the BPM lifecycle, we identify the new functional
requirements for a SBPMS, and explain the benefits of adopting semantic
technologies in SBPM.
