Towards an ontology of business- and process architecture based on a business model

Abstract

BPM as an integrated discipline postulated that technology has to follow the processes and processes the strategy. BPM literature emphasizes the importance and necessity of aligning strategy with business processes, but one of the main problems of people working in a unit of processes is to map and formally integrate strategic planning with organizational processes. The study of the literature shows that there are no accepted guidelines or standardized to guide professionals to achieve this integration. In this paper the author present a proposal for a business and process architecture ontology based on a business model as the basis for BPM governance. Process architecture will be extending to the level of the processes that contain the business logic that is used in operations. The ontology will be validated through an integrated case study.
