Abstract
Discovering discrepancies between actual business processes and business processes outlined by standards, best practices facilitates decision making of process owners regarding business process improvement. In semantic compliance management, knowledge related to job roles can serve as a basis to check compliance. Process ontologies preserve the structure of business processes and bear background knowledge for executing processes, which can be structured in domain ontologies. This paper presents how process and domain ontologies can work together in ontology matching to make a proposal for process owners regarding compliance check. A case from nursing practice will illustrate the applicability of this approach.
