Cognitive Process Designer An Open Source Tool to Capture Processes according to the Linked Data Principles
Processes need to be captured in a structured way in order to analyze them by using computer assisted methods. This circumstance becomes more important as the process becomes complex. Although there are standardized formats, they do not capture semantics of input/output parameters, involved persons or references to external data sources. Existing solutions provide tools to capture processes locally and specify new properties to extend the semantics of process languages. However, a collaborative platform to capture, discuss and share information is more advantageous, because processes are usually used and maintained collaboratively. In addition, users cannot define own semantics for their use case scenarios and the proposed semantics and processes are not published according to the Linked Data principles. To address these problems we 1) provide an open source tool to capture BPMN processes graphically in a Semantic MediaWiki; 2) allow users to define own semantics and 3) publish the information according to the Linked Data principles.
