Using of the Ontology in Business Process Modelling Domain
Ontology, Business processes, modelling of business processes, UFO
The Business Process Modelling is a relative new discipline or technology that provides a suitable tool for managing and simulating processes. It usually denotes the first step (initial phase) of the software development process. Next phases of software development processes are requirements specification, analysis, design, etc. And just BPM is a critical place of the whole process, because there is not any general foundation and manner how model and describe business processes from different application areas and different aspects, yet. One of the possibilities is applying of Ontology analysis and engineering manners to find or create of a suitable universal model for representation of business process, that will be able to capture the essence of the different aspect of business process modelling, first of all constructs, elements, properties, attributes and relations of business processes with take into consideration specific conditions of each part of business domain. The main goal of this work is to draw attention to an importance of ontologies for Business process domain and point out a way how we can apply it to manage software development processes, also, with allowance to their special requirements.
