SUPER

SUPER or Semantics Utilised for Process management within and between EnteRprises is an Integrated Project funded by the European Sixth Framework Program, under the Information Society Technologies thematic. SUPER is a member of the European Semantic Systems Initiative (ESSI) cluster.
The major objective of SUPER is to raise Business Process Management to the business level from the Information Technology level where it mostly resides now. This objective requires that BPM is accessible at the level of semantics of business experts. To reach this objective, the project aims at providing a framework based on Semantic Web Services technology, able to acquire, organise and share the knowledge embedded both in business processes, systems and software, and human expertise.
Project Advantages
SUPER is set in the environment composed of finite number of entities, thus it does not concern itself with issues currently discussed in SW community.
Its great strength comes from inheriting results of many EU funded projects such as SEKT, DIP, SWWS and IBROW to name a few. As a representation of BP SUPER chooses the WSMO SWS, requirements of business experts are described by WSMO goals and coupling between the two bases on extended WSMO mediators.
Further advantages of SUPER are especially important when it comes to the business ground and direct handling of its most important challenges.
The provision of framework allows for integration of heterogeneous BPs, construction of supporting ontologies enables rapid response to the change of external and internal environment, mediation layer enhances the collaboration between organizations, carefully scrutinized flow of knowledge leaving company extended by means of selective sharing of the before mentioned asset.
