Abstract

The description of business processes is important for an unambiguous definition and its reusability. However, due to different data models of business modeling tools, an exchange of process definitions is difficult. This demands for a formal model of business processes. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization and can therefore be used as an (inter)lingua to describe S-BPM processes. This paper presents a S-BPM ontology modeled with the Web Ontology Language.
