Representing BORM Process Models using OWL and RDF

Abstract

Business Object Relationship Modeling (BORM) is a business process analysis method based on communicating finite-state machines and Petri nets. However, because of its tooling support and non-interoperability of formats, it is rather niche. This work proposes a way of representing the knowledge from BORM process models in RDF by creating a BORM ontology. It benefits from previous work done on different conceptual and process modelling languages and their transformations to OWL. The resulting RDF representation brings increased interoperability and enhanced analysis possibilities, e.g., using SPARQL or RDF visualization tools. A part of this work is also a BORM-to-RDF export feature for the OpenPonk modelling platform. The resulting BORM ontology is ready for use in practice and further work.
