Run SemBPPlatform\eclipse.exe 2. Select a workspace: File->Switch Workspace and select a folder, e.g., .\workspace \\**Handling BPAL Projects** Create a new project: File->New->Other->BPALProject->CreateBPALProject Import an existing BPAL project: File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace and browse for folders Show BPAL projects in the Navigator panel: Window->Show View->Navigator A project contains the following folders: - BPMNRepository, contains the BPMN diagram (.bpmn_diagram file), its XML serialization (.bpmn file), and the serialization of the user's semantic annotations (.ser file) - OntologyRepository, contains the ontologies (.owl files) to be used for semantic annotation; - SemanticBPRepository, contains the OWL export (.owl files) of the BP **Process Modeling** Processes can be modeled by using the BPMN Graphical Editor and saved in the BPMNRepository. To create a new BPMN diagram right click on BPMNRepository and select New->Other->Other->Bpmn Diagram. **Importing and Visualizing Ontologies** To open the OWLOntology panel: BPAL->Show OWLOntology The user can load the ontologies available in the project by using the "+" button in the OWLOntology panel. Also new OWL ontologies can be imported via the "+" button. Ontologies can then be visualized in the panel. **Semantic Annotation** A "Properties" panel associated with a process element can be open by right-clicking on the element and selecting Annotation->Show Properties View. The Terminological Annotation, the Condition and the Effects (Eff+, Eff-) can be specified by using the given buttons and text windows. The user can save the annotations through the "Save Annotation" button. **Namespace** Namespaces can be handled via the BPAL->ShowNameSpace. A Key can be associated with a namespace identifier (URI). **Exporting OWL** Semantically annotated BPs can be exported to OWL files by using BPAL->Export OWL. Processes and annotations are serialized and saved to the “OntologyRepository” folder of the project. **Querying** Before querying the user must export the BP knowledge base to OWL (see previous point) and compile the project by using: BPAL->Consult WorkSpace. Queries have the syntax SELECT ?x* WHERE predicate ))) )))
