Automated business process modeling
View Patent ↗In a method for generating a business process model project, a computer receives a data file comprising text, descriptive of a business process. The computer searches a sentence in the text for a keyword indicative of existence of a corresponding business artifact stated elsewhere in the sentence. In response, the computer identifies an indicator in the sentence, the indicator designating a name of the corresponding business artifact. The computer identifies a business artifact based on the keyword and the indicator. The computer generates a business process model project based in part on the business artifact.
1. A method for generating a business process model project, the method comprising the steps of:
a computer receiving a data file comprising text descriptive of a business process;
the computer searching a sentence in the text for a keyword indicating a type of a business process model artifact, wherein a name of the business process model artifact exists in the sentence;
in response to identifying the keyword, the computer identifying the name of the business process model artifact by parsing the sentence according to a predefined search pattern;
the computer adding the name of the business process model artifact and the type of the business process model artifact to a business process model artifact list; and
the computer generating a business process model project shell based in part on the business process model artifact list.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the type of business process model artifact comprises one of activity artifact, decision artifact, and resource artifact.
3. A computer system for generating a business process model project, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a data file comprising text descriptive of a business process;
program instructions to search a sentence in the text for a keyword indicating a type of a business process model artifact, wherein a name of the business process model artifact exists in the sentence;
in response to identifying the keyword, the computer identifying the name of the business process model artifact by parsing the sentence according to a predefined search pattern;
program instructions to add the name of the business process model artifact and the type of the business process model artifact to a business process model artifact list; and
program instructions to generate a business process model project shell based in part on the business process model artifact list.
4. The computer system of claim 3 , wherein the type of business process model artifact comprises one of activity artifact, decision artifact, and resource artifact.
5. A computer program product for generating a business process model project, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a data file comprising text descriptive of a business process;
program instructions to search a sentence in the text for a keyword indicating a type of a business process model artifact, wherein a name of the business process model artifact exists in the sentence;
in response to identifying the keyword, the computer identifying the name of the business process model artifact by parsing the sentence according to a predefined search pattern;
program instructions to add the name of the business process model artifact and the type of the business process model artifact to a business process model artifact list; and
program instructions to generate a business process model project shell based in part on the business process model artifact list.
6. The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the type of business process model artifact comprises one of activity artifact, decision artifact, and resource artifact.
