Ontology-based approach to reuse of business process knowledge
Ontology-based approach to reuse of business process knowledge

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an approach to reuse of business process knowledge based on domain engineering, knowledge engineering and ontology-based systems engineering. The main idea of the proposed approach is to separate business process ontology and application domain ontology, and reuse the process ontology in different application domains. A notion of generic business process is introduced and is defined as a family of similar business processes. The two life cycles activity of location of generic business process in application domain is discussed.
