Abstract

This paper introduces a method using ontology matching for compliance checking on higher education processes. The main goal of our approach is to transform business processes into process ontologies in order to apply ontology matching procedure to restructure the business processes. The ,,conceptual models - ontology models” converter maps the Business Process Modeling elements to the appropriate Ontology elements in meta-level. We have created an evaluating algorithm of the structured report resulted by the ontology matching process. Having processed the report, we can gain such information, which facilitate to plan action to restructure our current process.
