sorry, I've been travelling in the last 3 weeks, I'll answer your emails<br>
shortly after.<br>
Now, for a general, public answer: "integrating business processes and<br>
ontologies" is a very broad question...<br>
Some possible interpretations include:<br>
<br>
1) Using a BP ontology as a meta-model of BPs, so that BPMN processes would<br>
be recognized as instances of the concepts defined in that ontology. You can<br>
then "reason" over the precesses themselves.<br>
2) Using a BP to orchestrate "Semantic Web Services"<br>
3) Using the ontology as a data/domain model, shared between the tasks, to<br>
exchange information<br>
4) Use a BP to express the transformations to be applied to a set of data<br>
defined in an ontology<br>
5) Any combination of the above and more...<br>
<br>
you can google up a number of papers, reports, standards, works etc for any<br>
of them and possibly more<br>
JBPM people, feel free to pick up the lines ;)<br>
Best<br>
