Abstract

An apparatus and a method for automated semantic annotation of a process model having model elements named by natural language expressions, wherein said apparatus comprises at least one semantic pattern analyzer which analyses the textual structure of each natural language expression on the basis of predefined semantic pattern descriptions to establish a semantic linkage between each model element to classes and instances of a reference process ontology for generating a semantically annotated process model.
