Abstract

Design of Business Intelligence systems capable of effectively handling a domain knowledge is a well known, but currently not solved challenge for both Software and Knowledge Engineers. There exist several approaches to extract and model the Business Knowledge, most notably Business Processes and Business Rules. However, each of them has its own weaknesses and therefore it is often desirable to build hybrid models composed of several knowledge representations. In this paper we describe an extension to Business Rules in order to facilitate creation of such heterogeneous systems. This is achieved by introducing semantic annotations to existing rule modeling languages. We also present how the additional semantic information is leveraged in the Prosecco project.
