[edit] Abstract

The vision of semantic business processes is to enable the integration and

inter-operability of business processes across organizational boundaries. Since
different organizations model their processes differently, the discovery and
retrieval of similar semantic business processes is necessary in order to
foster inter-organizational collaborations. This paper presents our approach of
using iSPARQL - our imprecise query engine based on SPARQL - to query the
OWLized MIT Process Handbook - a large collection of over 5000 semantic
business processes. We particularly show how it easy it is to use iSPARQL to
perform the presented process retrieval task. Furthermore, since choosing the
best performing similarity strategy is a non-trivial, data-, and
context-dependent task, we evaluate the performance of three simple and two
human-engineered similarity strategies. In addition, we conduct machine
learning experiments to learn similarity measures showing that complimentary
information contained in the different notions of similarity strategies provide
a very high retrieval accuracy. Our preliminary results indicate that iSPARQL
is indeed useful for extending the reach of queries and that it, therefore, is
an enabler for inter- and intra-organizational collaborations.
