Abstract
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) benefit from business processes (BP), which orchestrate web services (WS) and human actors in cross organizational environments. In this setting, handling the security and privacy issues while exchanging and processing personal data is essential. This lacks for secure business processes management. To achieve this, we represent security constraints descriptively by annotating process models, aiming to enforce these constraints by a secure business process management system (BPMS).To assist the process modeler in annotating process models, we introduce in this paper a tool which provides semantic interoperability during process design. By enforcing a shared conceptualization (ontology) of the security and privacy domains with an ontology base grounded in natural language this tool called knowledge annotator is able to make annotation recommendations according to knowledge stored in a knowledge base. The annotator is validated in an employability use case scenario.
