Abstract
Process modelling is an essential task in business and science. Working with process models is a knowledge-intensive task. Unfortunately, tasks like creating, sharing and using process models are hardly supported by knowledge management applications. In this paper, requirements for the integration of process models into knowledge management are described, focusing on the perspective of knowledge work. The paper argues that Social Tagging as a means for semantic content description can fulfil these requirements. Furthermore, an approach of integrating process models into knowledge management and its implementation are shown.
