“…Currently the tool 2 is able to load and test process models for consistency against a rule base. The tool builds sequential and parallel process compositions, then ProcessSeer [95] style effect accumulation can be computed on the composed process models to find composition end effect scenarios. Although we have based the tool on ProcessSeer, the accumulation engine is more extensible.…”

“…Accumulation of effects and QoS values have been discussed in previous work [95,98,115,148] and previously in §3.4.1, the result of which is a consistent set of effects and QoS values that give a semantic meaning to a process model. An accumulation function accumulate takes as input a trace σ and returns a tuple Υ, ε,Γ which are the set of cumulative QoS values, the set of cumulative effects and the cumulative customer state respectively.…”

“…The usage of this annotation allows reasoning over a BPMN model for the detection of inconsistencies and similarity comparisons. Further to the work of [94,95], the area of understanding process models and quality of models has been undertaken by Rosemann et. al.…”

“…Process semantics provide a declariative specification of a process design; that is, what the process is seeking to achieve. Previous work in this area [95] has described a method for semantic annotation of business processes. This is an effective way of adding semantic descriptions to process models as it produces reusable artefacts (annotated activities) that can be reasoned over.…”

“…[95] a formal definition of business process models has been provided in the form of a graph-based encoding. Semantic descriptions of tasks are proposed in [95] where the tasks of a business process model, written in BPMN, are annotated with the effects of the tasks. The usage of this annotation allows reasoning over a BPMN model for the detection of inconsistencies and similarity comparisons.…”

A tool for the semantic annotation, validation and optimization of business process models

The adoption of the business process model notation for the description of internal workflows and procedures by both public administrations and private organizations is steadily growing, thanks to the simplicity of the standard and its consistent expressivity. However, the lack of semantic support from BPMN can pose important limitations to its efficient use, as ambiguities in task definitions and communications can lead to misinterpretations. Furthermore, there is the need to validate the BPMNs, to check their adherence to regulations, especially in public administration, and to verify their conformance to security and privacy constraints. In this work, we present SemPrAnn, a semantic annotation tool for BPMN that, exploiting domain ontologies and logical rules, provides the possibility to unambiguously identify concepts in workflows and to run inferential engines against them to enforce the rules. The manuscript presents the methodology applied for the implementation of the tool, the tool itself with its exposed functionalities, and a case study demonstrating its current capabilities.
