Business Process Data Compliance

  • Conference paper
Rules on the Web: Research and Applications (RuleML 2012)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 7438))

Abstract

Most approaches to business process compliance are restricted to the analysis of the structure of processes. It has been argued that full regulatory compliance requires information on not only the structure of processes but also on what the tasks in a process do. To this end Governatori and Sadiq [2007] proposed to extend business processes with semantic annotations. We propose a methodology to automatically extract one kind of such annotations; in particular the annotations related to the data schema and templates linked to the various tasks in a business process.
