A Metamodel Based Perspective on the Adaptation of a Semantic Business Process Modeling Language to the Financial Sector

Process modeling is an important prerequisite to process reorganization and management. As a result, many companies have spent much effort on process documentation, while hardly gaining equivalent benefits in the analysis and usage of the resulting process models. To balance the cost-benefit-ratio of process modeling projects with respect to their later usage, especially regarding automatic process model analysis (i.e. for optimization purposes etc.), new domain-specific and thus Semantic Business Process Modeling Languages (SBPML) have been proposed for selected domains.
