即使在使用相同的建模语言时，不同的建模者也可能以不同的方式对业务流程建模。为了解决由于流程元素名称的同义词、同义词或不同抽象级别的使用而导致的流程模型中的歧义问题，一种合适的方法是使用基于本体的流程模型描述。所谓的语义业务流程模型承诺支持业务流程互操作性和互连性。但是，对于(半自动)过程互操作性和互联性，需要解决两个问题。如何自动发现流程元素名称的相似术语，以及如何促进语义业务流程组合。在本文中，我们将在基于OWL描述的Petri网的基础上提出这些问题的解决方案。
A business process may be modeled in different ways by different modelers even when utilizing the same modeling language. An appropriate method for solving ambiguity issues in process models caused by the use of synonyms, homonyms or different abstraction levels for process element names is the use of ontology-based descriptions of process models. So-called semantic business process models promise to support business process interoperability and interconnectivity. But, for (semi-) automatic process interoperability and interconnectivity two problems need to be solved. How can similar terms for process element names be automatically discovered and how can semantic business process composition be facilitated. In this paper we will present solutions for these problems based upon an OWL DL-based description of Petri nets.
