Modeling and Reasoning about Information Quality Requirements in Business Processes

Information Quality (IQ) is particularly important for the successful and efficient execution of any Business Process (BP). Despite this, most existing BP approaches either ignore IQ needs, or they deal with them as mere technical issues, without considering the social and organizational aspects that underlie such needs. In this paper, we propose a goal-oriented approach to capture IQ requirements (needs) and map these requirements into workflow net (WFA-net) that is a formal language for modeling and analyzing IQ requirements in BP. We illustrate our approach with an example concerning a stock market system.
