Business Process Search within Unstructured Repositories

Maya Lincoln, Avi Wasser

2014

Abstract

In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in developing frameworks and tools for searching business process model repositories. While research on searching structured repositories has been extensive, little attention was dedicated to searching business process content within unstructured repositories, such as the Web. We demonstrate why current search technologies are not useful for extracting process content from the Web, and explain the core reasons for the deficiency. We then present a framework for overcoming this material weakness, and discuss possible applications for realizing the suggested method.
