Evaluate, Reorganize and Share: An Approach to Dynamically Organize Digital HierarchiesJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 3 - Trang 225-236 - 2014
Rodrigo Dias Arruda Senra, Claudia Bauzer Medeiros
We are overwhelmed and overloaded with the data deluge brought by the digital age. Hierarchies are pervasive cognitive patterns that allow us to reorganize data and reduce the dimensionality of the information space to manageable levels (e.g., filesystems and navigational menus). In spite of their widespread adoption, such hierarchies can be improved to cope with the present needs of data sharing ...... hiện toàn bộ
Improving Business Process Model Quality Using Domain OntologiesJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 2 - Trang 75-87 - 2013
Samira Si-Said Cherfi, Sarah Ayad, Isabelle Comyn-Wattiau
This paper addresses the issue of improving quality of business process (BP) models by exploiting domain knowledge. Indeed, business process models reflect the business processes of companies. The success of these processes has a direct and undeniable impact on business operations success. Managing them through their underlying models helps improving their effectiveness, consistency, and transpare...... hiện toàn bộ
Metrics for the Prediction of Evolution Impact in ETL Ecosystems: A Case StudyJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 1 - Trang 75-97 - 2012
George Papastefanatos, Panos Vassiliadis, Alkis Simitsis, Yannis Vassiliou
The Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) flows are essential for the success of a data warehouse and the business intelligence and decision support mechanisms that are attached to it. During both the ETL design phase and the entire ETL lifecycle, the ETL architect needs to design and improve an ETL design in a way that satisfies both performance and correctness guarantees and often, she has to choose amon...... hiện toàn bộ
SOWL QL: Querying Spatio-Temporal Ontologies in OWLJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 5 - Trang 249-269 - 2016
Konstantinos Stravoskoufos, Euripides G. M. Petrakis, Nikolaos Mainas, Sotirios Batsakis, Vasilis Samoladas
We introduce SOWL QL, a query language for spatio-temporal information in ontologies. Building-upon SOWL (Spatio-Temporal OWL), an ontology for handling spatio-temporal information in OWL, SOWL QL supports querying over qualitative spatio-temporal information (expressed using natural language expressions such as “before”, “after”, “north of”, “south of”) rather than merely quantitative information...... hiện toàn bộ
Ant-Colony Optimisation for Path Recommendation in Business Process ExecutionJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 113-128 - 2019
Comuzzi, Marco
In business process management, operational support concerns methods and tools to support users during the execution of business processes. One possible way of supporting users is to suggest the optimal way to complete the execution of a business process instance given the set of activities executed thus far and a notion of utility associated with the execution of possible remaining activities. Th...... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamic Access Control to Semantics-Aware Streamed Process LogsJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 8 - Trang 203-218 - 2019
Marcello Leida, Paolo Ceravolo, Ernesto Damiani, Rasool Asal, Maurizio Colombo
Business process logs are composed of event records generated, collected and analyzed at different locations, asynchronously and under the responsibility of different authorities. Their analysis is often delegated to auditors who have a mandate for monitoring processes and computing metrics but do not always have the rights to access the individual events used to compute them. A major challenge of...... hiện toàn bộ
Formal Framework for Checking Compliance of Data-Driven Case ManagementJournal on Data Semantics - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 143-163 - 2021
Haarmann, Stephan, Holfter, Adrian, Pufahl, Luise, Weske, Mathias
Business processes are often specified in descriptive or normative models. Both types of models should adhere to internal and external regulations, such as company guidelines or laws. Employing compliance checking techniques, it is possible to verify process models against rules. While traditionally compliance checking focuses on well-structured processes, we address case management scenarios. In ...... hiện toàn bộ
