This book describes the development of a new framework, the BPAOntoSOA framework, which aims to semantically identify candidate software services from business process architectures. The research in this book is an attempt to bridge the business-to-IT gap, to increase the business agility, and to pave the way for other ontologies whose intent is to model a SOA-based application to help in a later phase to address the activities required for requirement analysis, collaboration analysis, workflow analysis, and system specification.
