Process Modeling: reengineering and content patterns

by Aldo Gangemi

Abstract

In this talk we present some reengineering and content patterns that help describing and linking the process models underlying different process-oriented languages (through reengineering patterns). A simple example is also provided. The ultimate goal of this activity is to allow a semantic layer in the implementation stack of a CMS, which can contain the representation and (static) reasoning over planning, organizational, and physical entities through a set of networked ontologies (content patterns).
