Abstract

Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) promises bridging the gap between business and IT using machine processable enterprise models. Therefore, SBPM requires semantically annotated enterprise models in general and semantic business process models in particular. There are several well established business process modelling notations like BPMN and EPC. For SBPM to get adopted by practitioners, it must not introduce new modelling notations but instead reuse existing formalisms. Therefore, within this article we present an ontology for EPC models that may be used as their serialisation. The sEPC ontology was evaluated using competency questions and annotating a real-world business process.
