Companies model their business processes either for documentation, analysis, re-engineering or automation purposes; usually using normalized
business process modeling
languages such as EPC or BPMN. Although these models explain
how
the processes should be performed and by
whom
, they abstract away their business rationale
(
i.e.
what
is offered and
why
).
Business modeling
aims to answer the latter and different frameworks have been proposed to express the process in terms of value-chains. Ensuring alignment between both of these views manually is error prone and labor intensive. In this paper, we present a novel approach to derive a value-chain - expressed in REA - from a business process model expressed in BPMN. At the heart of our approach and our main contribution lies a set of nine general business patterns we have defined and classified as structural and behavioral patterns.
