“…However, interoperability has been an issue already experienced in healthcare (Brooks, 2020). As interoperability faces many challenges, e.g., different communication protocols, incompatible architectures, heterogeneous data models, and ambiguous meanings of information exchanged (Abukwaik, Taibi & Rombach, 2014), BPMN comprehension is usually not enough to deal with it. This finding shows that BPMN works as the opening of software understanding, the bridge between stakeholders and the software team, but each step in the process mapped has to be unraveled by requirements elicitation and development teams in order to find the most suitable technical solution for specific issues.…”

Requirements elicitation is a highly relevant part of the software development process. Due to the several techniques that exist to perform it, it is necessary to understand the complexity of this activity for it to be well performed, thus ensuring the quality of the final product. In addition, it is also worth emphasizing that the existence of well-defined processes is essential for the stakeholders' needs to be correctly identified in the initial stages of the software development process. This paper presents an experience report of the requirements elicitation and business process modeling teams. The teams used the best practices and reference frameworks to understand, model, and perform business process enhancements to the Brazilian Unified Health System General Audit Office (AUDSUS) audit system by using the business process model and notation (BPMN). Thus, all software requirements were specified based on the modeled business processes, providing a faster software development process and a more efficient information flow between stakeholders and the teams involved.

“…Semantic integration is achieved when information assets have one meaning or one context (Prabhakaran and Chou, 2006). Abukwaik, Taibi and Rombach (2014) note that a multitude of architectural interoperability problems are at the technical, syntactical, semantic and pragmatic levels. This emanates from systems’ heterogeneity on data representation, meaning or context.…”

Purpose Government entities often implement automated records management systems, often without a clear governing framework to facilitate such automation. This study aims to explore the role played by information architecture (IA) in records automation in Botswana and propose a guiding framework in the context of e-government. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study uses a focused literature review to study the importance of IA in records automation in e-government. Findings Without proper IA, information organization including retrieval/access to records becomes difficult. Practically, this would practically and negatively affect process automation in e-government solutions. Research limitations/implications The proposed framework can guide e-government record automation in Botswana. However, its limitation lies in the fact that it has not been tested, thereby limiting its practicality until tested empirically. Practical implications The proposed framework can be used to inform record automation management processes in the realm of Botswana’s e-government project. Originality/value The proposed framework contributes to the body of knowledge on the automation of records and e-government in Botswana specifically and Africa in general.

“…The terms used in the data (types of entities, their properties, datatypes, and identifiers) should be understood in a sufficiently similar manner by the systems to make their practical operations successful. The solutions for semantic interoperability are still in development with approaches based on standards, ontologies, wrappers, and mediators (Abukwaik, 2014). In the construction domain also classification systems can address some aspects of semantic interoperability.…”

“…Pragmatic interoperability: There are several issues related to processes, security, adaptation to dynamic changes, organizational arrangements, and even legal considerations where the systems may need to be in an agreement to successfully work together. Occasionally some of these aspects are regarded as additional layers of interoperability (EIF, 2017) (Abukwaik, 2014).…”
