Abstract

Object-centric process mining has been proposed as a practical solution for dealing with the multiple views from which a process can be analyzed regarding its relation with organizational data (i.e., objects). The Object-Centric Event Data (OCED) metamodel was recently proposed as a data exchange standard for object-centric process mining. As far as we know, the metamodel has yet to be studied from a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) perspective. This paper provides an Ecore-based representation of the OCED metamodel and explores its capabilities from an MDE perspective. We also study how the Business Process and Organizational Data Integrated Metamodel (BPODIM), i.e., a proposal for integrating process and organizational data, can be aligned with OCED providing fruitful information for OCED improvement.
