Abstract:
The process is the pivot of the business modeling. Thus, the goal of modeling is to present the main flows
exchanged with the internal and external environment. Indeed, there are several pieces of information that take
place throughout the process life cycle, from design to execution. Behind these pieces of information, there
is a lot of business knowledge that should be acquired to improve the quality of such a modeling. The aim of
this paper is to manipulate the business knowledge when developing modeling perspectives. For this reason,
our solution consists in proposing an ontological approach to create a Multidimensional Business Knowledge
base (MBK BASE) to help the designers of the business process with their tasks. In this way, on the one hand,
we outline an overview of our proposed solution by relating it to other research. In fact, we define the main
business concepts and we describe some semantic relationships which are expressed with the descriptive logic.
On the other hand
, we give an illustrative case study related to the treatment choice process of a patient with
breast cancer in order to demonstrate the applicability of our solution.
