From knowledge management point of view, business process models and ontologies are two essential knowledge artifacts for organizations that consume similar information sources. In this sense, building and managing the relationships between ontologies and business process models provide benefits such as enhanced semantic quality of both artifacts and effort savings. A method and tool support could guide integrated business process modeling and ontology building, and therefore enhance their semantic quality and increase the benefits gained from both. In this study, PROMPTUM method for integrated process modeling and ontology development that integrates well-established practices of business process modeling and ontology development is presented. This study also introduces the PROMPTUM toolset, which enables PROMPTUM method to be effective by supporting to model relations between the ontologies and the labels within the process model collections. In establishing these relations, the PROMPTUM toolset enables definition and management of labels and terms within labels of the process models and the process model elements as resources of domain ontologies. Thus, a related resource is managed as a single resource representing the same real-world object in both artifacts in both creation and maintenance once PROMPTUM toolset and method are utilized.

A method for integrated business process modeling and ontology development
COŞKUNÇAY, Ahmet; Demirörs, Onur (2022-04-01)
Purpose From knowledge management point of view, business process models and ontologies are two essential knowledge artifacts for organizations that consume similar information sources. In this study, the PROMPTUM method for integrated process modeling and ontology development that adheres to well-established practices is presented. The method is intended to guide practitioners who develop both ontologies and business process models in the same or similar domains. Design/methodology/approach The method is s...
An Emprical examination for collaborative nature of business process modeling
Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2016)
In this study, factors that contribute to interaction quality of collaborative group members in a computer-supported collaborative business process modeling context were investigated with qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, interaction quality factors were identified based on a review of related theoretical frameworks and qualitative analysis of log files from a dual eye-tracking experiment. A rating scheme was then developed to assess the quality of group interactions. A research model, that r...
A Comparison of Process Ontology Discovery from Organizational Guidelines in Two Different Languages
Gurbuz, Ozge; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01)
Process ontologies contain organization's process elements which are related to the business activities, in a structured format. Once organizations establish process ontologies, searching process information as well as discovery, modeling and automation become more efficient. Process ontologies are frequently developed from organizational resources such as guidelines, regulations and procedures by interpreting the document, discovering the process information and building the ontology. The studies depict th...
A Quality model for cloud-based enterprise information systems
Şener, Umut; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2016)
Organizations have migrated from on-premise enterprise information systems to Cloud-based Enterprise Information Systems (Cloud-EIS) due to the benefits of cloud computing, such as flexibility, availability on demand, and interdependence in information technology infrastructure. Accordingly, enterprises perceive the significance of the quality of Cloud-EIS for improving their businesses, and they pay more attention to selecting the suitable Cloud-EIS. Having looked at the extensive literature, only a few re...
Patterns of firm growth in the Turkish manufacturing industry
Töngür, Ünal; Taymaz, Erol; Department of Economics (2015)
The main objectives of this dissertation are five-fold: First, to examine the relationship between employment generation and firm growth; second, to explore the impacts of firm and sector specific factors on firm growth by using conventional techniques; third, to discover the patterns of firm growth by using a novel statistical approach; fourth, to analyze the determinants of patterns of firm growth; and finally, to investigate the pattern-specific determinants of firm growth by taking into account the patt...
