Process Choreography Languages Evaluation Via Ontology

In the current business environment, collaborative business processes serve a variety of organizations for accomplishing their business goals. Such processes require an integration infrastructure, which, in turn, should build on a profound model encompassing the details of the collaborative process. A proper model gives the stakeholders a clear-cut understanding of the whole process and assists in discovering possible failures, optimizing and documenting the
integration processes. Process choreography is a common term used for such models. Different choreography languages exist, each having advantages and drawbacks. These languages need to be evaluated for selecting a specific one and for the sake of further improvements. This paper proposes an evaluation framework which extends an ontology-based Inter-Organizational
Conceptual Model using the more general ontological BWW model. The practicality and the necessity of the proposed framework are analyzed and reaffirmed through a case study.
