Process templates are stored as valuable resources and then are retrieved and reused in other projects. In order to find a desired template, the semantics of various process templates should be machine-readable and interoperable. However, the heterogeneity of both model representations and modeling languages makes it difficult to reuse the templates. Here we adopt one of the emerging semantic web techniques – the semantic annotation of process templates in order to enhance the interoperability for better reuse of process templates. Our semantic annotation consists of three basic parts: model profile, model content and meta model annotation. A general process ontology and domain ontologies are referenced as the annotation information. Given process templates annotated by ontology, they are abstracted from language-specific details but to the level of necessary details for process templates to be reused.Read the full paper here: https://www.emmsad.org/archive/2005
