EPML2SVG - Generating Websites from EPML Processes

: This paper presents an approach to map EPC business process models available in EPML to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and websites. This mapping has been implemented as an XSLT transformation program called EPML2SVG. Such a transformation may serve as a reference for visual tools that use EPML. Furthermore, business process models available in SVG can be used in web presentations and they can be viewed without buying a licence of a business process modelling tool. Moreover, EPML2SVG leverages EPML as an interchange format for EPCs. Websites generated by EPML2SVG contain SVG graphics for each EPC model and an HTML navigation structure based on links to each process models. We discuss design decisions of the program and illustrate the generated SVG by an example.
