Business process modelling languages typically enable the representation of business process models by employing (graphical) symbols. These symbols can vary depending upon the verbosity of the language, the modeling paradigm, the focus of the language, and so on. To make explicit the different constructs and rules employed by a specific language as well as bridge the gap across different languages, meta-models have been proposed in literature. These meta-models are a crucial source of knowledge on what state-of-the-art literature considers relevant to describe business processes. Moreover, the rapid growth of techniques and tools that aim at supporting all dimensions of business processes and not only its control flow perspective, as for instance data and organisational aspects, makes even more important to have a clear idea, already at the conceptual level, of the key process constructs. The goal of this work is to provide the first extensive systematic literature review (SLR) of business process metamodels. This SLR aims at answering research questions concerning: (i) the kind of meta-models proposed in literature; (ii) the recurring constructs they contain; (iii) their purposes; and (iv) their evaluations. The SRL was performed manually considering papers automatically retrieved from reference paper repositories as well as proceedings of the main conferences in the Business Process Management research area. Thirty-six papers were selected and evaluated against four research questions. The results indicate the existence of a reasonable body of work conducted in this specific area, but not a full maturity. In particular, while traditional paradigms towards business process modelling, and aspects related to the business process control flow seem to be well present, novel paradigms and aspects related to the organisational, data and goal-oriented aspects of business processes seem to be still under-investigated.

“…Visual models may have elements with similar names but with a different meaning, and conversely, concepts with similar meaning may have varying names and signs. In order to resolve this problem, a unified meta-model (Karagiannis and Höfferer, 2006;Heidari et al, 2013) or ontology (Andersson et al, 2006;Guizzardi et al, 2006;Grigoriev and Kudryavtsev, 2011;Hinkelmann et al, 2015) can be used. Additionally, consistent diagram examples, developed in accordance with the chosen notation, are useful (training dataset).…”

The paper suggests a classification of visual knowledge codification (diagramming) techniques for multi-perspective business systems analysis and design. The classification is based on seven main categories of knowledge: what-knowledge, how-knowledge, who-knowledge, why-knowledge, what for-knowledge, when-knowledge and where-knowledge. The classification defines both knowledge type and the most appropriate kind of diagramming technique. Examples for use of this classification system for marketing function applications are presented. Specific examples of these applications include mind map, concept map, Ishikawa diagram, strategy map, business process models and function trees. It is hoped that the new classification will allow better practical use of diagramming techniques in business and lead to fewer professional misunderstandings and more effective business communication. The aim of this research is thus to improve visual literacy among both business practitioners and educators. Copyright
