Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) bridges the gap between business and IT by taking advantage of the Semantic Web technologies. The foundation for SBPM is the detailed ontological description of enterprise models. These models encompass also business processes taking place in enterprises. Within this chapter, we show how the process-oriented knowledge may be captured for the needs of SBPM. For this reason, we describe semantically enhanced Business Process Modeling Notation (sBPMN) being a conceptualization of one of the main process modeling notations with the fast growing popularity among the tool vendors, namely BPMN. The sBPMN ontology is based on the BPMN specification and may be used as a serialization format by the BPMN modeling tools, thus, making creation of annotations invisible to users. In this chapter, we also present an example of a process model description.

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology that may be used to perform evaluation of business process management (BPM) methodologies. As this area lacks proper formalized approaches, the aim of the publication is to promote the new approach, proposed by the authors. Design/methodology/approach -The authors analyse related methodologies and theoretical background. Based on that, they suggest an evaluation approach, which is used to verify correctness of a semantic BPM (SBPM) methodology. Findings -The proposed evaluation methodology has been practically tested. Additional interviews have been conducted and interviewees stress high value of the approach. The presented evaluation methodology was validated on the example of the SBPM methodology used in a European integrated project.Research limitations/implications -The results of this paper can be used to guide development and verify correctness of new BPM methodologies. Practical implications -The paper demonstrates how validation of BPM methodologies can be conducted in practice. Originality/value -The approach presented in the paper is the first comprehensive approach to provide methodology for evaluating BPM methodologies.
Due to the constantly growing interest in alternative investments, the art market has become the subject of numerous studies. By publishing sales data, many services and auction houses provide a foundation for further research on the latest trends. Determining the definition of the artistic value or formalisation of appraisal may be considered quite complex. Statistical analysis, econometric methods or data mining techniques could pave the way towards better understanding of the mechanisms occurring on the art market. The goal of this paper is to identify, describe and compare solutions (and related challenges) that help to analyse, make decisions and define state of the art in the context of the intersection of econometrics on art markets and computer science. This work is also a starting point for further research.
Abstract. The field of Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) has refuelled interest in using ontologies for the representation of the static and dynamic aspects of an enterprise and value chains. Putting the SBPM vision into practice, however, requires a consistent and operational network of ontologies reflecting the various spheres of enterprise structures and operations. Consistent means that the ontologies are based on compatible paradigms, have a compatible degree of detail, and include at least partial sets of alignment relations which allow data interoperability. Operational means that the ontology specifications are available in a single, current ontology formalism for which scalable repositories, reasoning support, APIs, and tools are available. In this paper, we describe a set of ontologies for SBPM that follows the mentioned requirements, and compare our work with the related efforts.
