K4BPMN Modeler: An Extension of BPMN2 Modeler with the Knowledge Dimension Based on Core Ontologies

Abstract

In this paper, we aim at enriching the graphical representation of sensitive business processes (SBPs) in order to identify and localize the crucial knowledge mobilized and created by these processes. Therefore, we develop a specific Eclipse plug-in, called «K4BPMN Modeler: Knowledge for Business Process Modeling Notation Modeler», implementing and supporting the BPMN extension «BPMN4KM». This extension was designed in a previous research project based on core ontologies in order to integrate all relevant aspects related to the knowledge dimension in sensitive business process models. Besides, we illustrated the application of some extended concepts on a model of medical care process.
