  • Abstract
    Business process models are an important tool in understanding and improving the efficiency of a business and in the design of information systems. Recent work has evaluated business process modelling languages against upper-level ontologies on the assumption that these ontologies are adequate representations of the general process domain. In this paper, we present a method to test this assumption. Our method is based on principles of cognitive psychology and demonstrated using the BWW and SUMO upper-level ontologies.
