Putting Business Intelligence into Documents

Business processes are often statically implemented and may not be established ad-hoc. For the realization of dynamic process configurations that demand for changes in these implementations static implementations are not suitable. In this paper we present our ideas on enabling dynamic business process implementations by reverting competencies in today’s business processes, i.e. away from the system to the document that is processed. Our idea is to add semantics to business processes by modeling them as a facet of so-called Intelligent Content Objects. We present our ideas of mapping these task descriptions to current business process standards and the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO) to make it useful in workflow execution environments like BPEL4WS and in Semantically Enhanced Service Oriented Architectures based on Semantic Web Services (SWS).
