Configurable Web Warehouses construction through BPM Systems

Abstract

The process of building Data Warehouses (DW) is well known with well defined stages but at the same time, mostly carried out manually by IT people in conjunction with business people. Web Warehouses (WW) are DW whose data sources are taken from the web. We define a flexible WW, which can be configured accordingly to different domains, through the selection of the web sources and the definition of data processing characteristics. A Business Process Management (BPM) System allows modeling and executing Business Processes (BPs) providing support for the automation of processes. To support the process of building flexible WW we propose a two BPs level: a configuration process to support the selection of web sources and the definition of schemas and mappings, and a feeding process which takes the defined configuration and loads the data into the WW. In this paper we present a proof of concept of both processes, with focus on the configuration process and the defined data.

Process management: systematic review of determining factors for automation

“…BPMS should provide features for monitoring and adapting process automation during the execution of a process, in dynamic process management, it minimizes human interventions (Marrella, 2019). BPMS allows to model and execute processes providing support for automation, and integrating different tools to support the complete life cycle of business processes (Delgado and Marotta, 2016). The use of BPMS provides effective management of internal processes, being a fundamental tool for the digital transformation of an organization (Karanina and Kotandzhyan, 2021).…”
