Business process model abstraction received considerable attention lately. So far, business process model abstraction is mainly based on control flow aspects ignoring data objects. Recently, data objects have been included in process model abstraction techniques. Thereby, the question arises which data objects are relevant for a specific abstraction level of a process model. To date, data object relevance is decided by control flow. But for data object abstraction independently from control flow aspects, the relevance question remains open. In this paper, we answer this question by introducing a set of data object relevance criteria focusing on data objects. These have been derived from use cases and have been evaluated with a first user study. Further, we show means to combine the presented criteria.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-41924-9_11
