Compliance Check in Semantic Business Process Management

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8186))

Abstract

With a steady increase of requirements against business processes, support of compliance checking is a field having increased attention in information systems research and practice. Compliance check is vital for organizations to identify gaps, inconsistency and incompleteness in processes and sometimes it is mandatory because of legal, audit requirements. The paper gives an overview about our research and development activities in the field of compliance checking with the help of semantic business process management (SBPM). We propose a compliance checking approach and solution, illustrated with a use case from higher education domain.
