Abstract

Business Process models help to visualize the processes of an organization. There exist several techniques of semantization of Business Processes. We give an overview of Business Process semantization techniques, focusing on the existing approaches in several Business Process Management tools. We also present the use of the existing techniques in the Prosecco (Processes Semantics Collaboration for Companies) research project.
