Abstract
Abstract Business process management (BPM) is becoming popular in business, and the business process modelling is a way of representing an organisation to enable its analysis and improvement. A business-friendly modelling is very helpful for business people, and also can act as a communication tool between them and technical IT people. This paper focuses on a new data model, called Source-Transaction-Agent (STA) data model, as a modelling technique for business process modelling. STA data model uses business metadata to assist business and IT person to communicate and participate effectively and efficiently in business data modelling of a system development process. The STA data model uses relational database concept and semantic data modelling, developed by combining Resource-Event-Agent (REA) data model and form-based approach. Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is used as the benchmark for the STA effectiveness evaluation. The results show that the STA data model is an effective data model technique for business process modelling.
