While BPMN is widely used for its intuitive, flow-based representation of business processes, it suffers from a lack of formal semantics, ambiguity, and limitations in modeling multi-party collaborations. In contrast, DEMO offers a theoretically robust, ontology-driven framework that focuses on abstracting the essential structure of business processes. A novel approach combining the rigor of DEMO’s transaction patterns with the more practical, widely adopted BPMN framework is proposed and demonstrated. This integration allows for the benefits of DEMO’s theoretical foundations to be utilized within BPMN diagrams, providing a more comprehensive and precise understanding of business processes. We argue that this combination enriches the modeling of business processes, providing a more coherent and reliable tool for both practitioners and researchers.  \n1 Introduction  \nIn the book titled “Enterprise Ontology-a human-centric approach to understanding the essence of organisation” [1], a bunch of theories is presented that together constitute the mental ‘glasses’ through which one ‘sees’ the ontological essence of an enterprise. The book also discusses the methodology DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations) for producing the so-called essential model of an enterprise. Abstracting in several ways from the every-day practice in an enterprise, this model provides a comprehensive, consistent, coherent, and concise understanding of an enterprise’s ontological essence. It includes the understanding of the distinct business processes that take place in the operating enterprise. This understanding is primarily based on the inherent tree structures in business processes, next to understanding processes as flows, i.e. sequences of activities and events.  \nBPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a well-known approach to modelling business processes. It comprises an intuitive and flow-based way of understanding business processes, and of expressing them in diagrams. BPMN models can also be extended for the purpose of being executed [2] . The lack of clearly defined semantics leads to a lot of confusion in the practical application of BPMN [3]. In addition, there  \n2 DEMO enhanced BPMN  \nis a limited potential for verification, and the inability to model multi-party collaborations [4] . Although the latest release (BPMN 2 .0.2) 1 addresses the issue of formal semantics to some extent, a number of challenges remain. Moreover, this version of BPMN comprises about 100 different symbols, which makes its practical application quite less ‘intuitive’ than originally envisioned.  \nDespite these drawbacks, BPMN is the de facto standard in business process modelling for professionals and researchers. In particular ‘business people’ appreciate it. They like to make models without much ado concerning precision and ambiguity. In terms of the distinction between the function and the construction perspective on enterprises [1], they pursue only the function perspective (the business of the enterprise) in contrast to the construction perspective (its organisation) . Yet, the focus of BPMN is (implicitly though) on the construction perspective. Moreover, BPMN does not abstract from implementation in order to focus on ontology, nor does it distinguish between original, informational, and documental production [1] .  \nIn this short paper, we present a way to combine DEMO and BPMN so that one can benefit from ","cbCaipXB3ItJFS9E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipXB3ItJFS9E","pdf",1343908,"English","# Introduction\n# DEMO enhanced BPMN\n## DEMO","[{\"question\":\"What problem does BPMN have when modeling business processes?\",\"answer\":\"BPMN lacks clearly defined formal semantics, which can cause confusion, ambiguity, and difficulty in modeling multi-party collaborations.\"},{\"question\":\"What does DEMO contribute to the integration?\",\"answer\":\"DEMO offers an ontology-driven framework focused on abstracting the essential structure of business processes using transaction patterns.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper connect DEMO concepts to BPMN diagrams?\",\"answer\":\"It presents how DEMO’s organizational building blocks and transaction patterns can be expressed within BPMN diagrams, leveraging DEMO’s theoretical strengths while retaining BPMN’s practical notation.\"}]","DEMO enhanced BPMN | PDF",1792975087]
