Abstract

Organizational activities require and produce documents like policies, transactional documents, business reports, audit reports. These documents are usually stored in document bases belonging to their hosting IT systems that makes difficult to search them. However they are connected to their generating, modifying and utilizing activities in process models which can be transformed into process ontologies. Process ontologies can be served as a basis for transforming process models into workflows, and interpreting or searching documents released during the runtime of processes. An application presented in this paper uses process model transformation, process-based text mining and semantic technologies for processing documents and querying them.
