Abstract

Business Process Modelling remains a costly and complex task for most organizations. One of the main difficulties lies on the process elicitation phase, where the process analyst attempts to extract information from the process’ participants and other resources involved. This paper describes a case study in which a previously proposed Story Mining method was applied. The Story Mining method and its supporting tool, ProcessTeller, makes use of collaborative storytelling and natural language processing techniques for a semi-automatic extraction of BPMN-compliant business process elements from text.
