Abstract

In order to have a full and comprehensive business process model we have to consider using two different modelling approaches that define business process models in two different ways. Modelling of business processes and business rules must be complementary each other, that means they should be used together in one environment. The goal of this paper is to present created approach for business process and business vocabulary and rules combination in one CASE tool keeping linkage between elements from two different modelling approaches as a result of current research. In order to achieve the goal we present transformation rules that allow us to transform business process model to business vocabulary and rules.
