Workflow management systems reflect business structures in a
separate organizational model and a process model because these
models describe different aspects of business structures. The
organizational model comprises members of an organization and
organizational relationships (organizational structure) whereas the
process model contains information about the tasks and their
dependencies (process structure). Linking both of these models
becomes more and more problematic because organizational models
change much more nowadays than they have before and so lead to
orphaned references in the process model. Moreover, organizational
models should be unknown during process modeling, and equivalent
process models should run with different organizational structures.
For this, we introduce conceptual graphs for specifying
organizational structures in the organizational model and for
specifying potential task holders in the process model. We cover
organizational knowledge and retrieve it at runtime exploiting the
benefits of these knowledge representation technique. With this, it
is possible to renounce name referencing and gain more degrees of
freedom for the linking process
