Abstract:
A business process model may be used as both a communication artefact for gathering and sharing knowledge of a business practice among stakeholders and as a specification for the automation of the process by a Business Process Management System (BPMS). For each of these uses, it is desirable to have an ability to visualise the process model from a range of different perspectives and at various levels of granularity. Such views are a common feature of enterprise architecture frameworks, but process modelling and management systems and tools generally have a limited number of available views to offer. This paper presents a taxonomy of process views that are presented in the literature and then proposes the definition and use of a common process model ontology, from which an extensible range of process views may be derived. The approach is illustrated through the realisation of a plug-in component for the YAWL BPMS, although it is by no means limited to that environment.
