Abstract
A method and an apparatus for automatic extraction of process model comprising model elements named by natural language expressions and annotated with semantic linkages to a reference process ontology are disclosed. The process model is split into partial process models by which an annotated partial process model is created. Process goals are decoupled from each annotated partial and hierarchical process goal tree is generated for each annotated partial process model.
