Abstract
To support automated reasoning of the policiesfor the cooperation between Goal and Process and achievethe on-demand modifications of operational process in somedegree, based on our previous work, an approach fortransforming the informal descriptions of SWRL into thebuilt-in elements of protégé4.1 is proposed, and theoptimization as well as the validation of the policies are alsoindicated in this paper. The concept of the built-in elementsin protégé4.1 is specified in this paper to indicate themapping relationships from the informal descriptions ofSWRL to the built-in elements of protégé4.1. According tothe mapping relationship, the transformation approach isconcluded and illustrated with a simple case. Then thepolicies for the cooperation between Goal and Process whichis in the informal descriptions of SWRL are firstly optimizedand then transformed into corresponding built-in elementsof protégé4.1 through the approach. In this paper, effectivereasoning support is provided for the dynamic evolution ofProcess model and the construction of on-demand serviceknowledge base.
