  RAPORT?

• Ontology Model
• Architecture of system RAPORT

System RAPORT

• designed for a pilot application organization
  of military exercise in a Centrum of Simulation
  Technologies (CST) National Academy of Defense
• (NAD) in Liptovský Mikuláš (Slovakia)
• CST organizes several overlapping military
  exercises during a training year
• problems with large amount of documents and
  e-mails
• problems with knowledge management
• problems with time management
• knowledge system based on e-mail communications
  and a web portal

Why ontology based workflow management in the
system RAPORT?

• improves the quality of work
• the large amount of documents and e-mails has to
  be processed
• this kind of work requires the broad knowledge of
  rules
• goal error-proof administrative processes
• saves the processing cost
• goal avoid duplicities in user actions
• time savings
• documents can be quickly reused and processed
  according to its ontological description
• user never needs to manually find related
  document
• proposed system will inform user about the
  progress of current workflow activity
• goal effective document access and activities
  overview

Process of Military Exercise

• determine the content, topics, tasks and targets
  of military exercise
• preparing the scenarios of military exercise,
  simulation and technical plans, digital maps of
  terrain, etc.

• performs by SW, which simulates military actions
  of officers
• errors evaluation of military actions

RAPORT Data FlowDiagram

• workflow process is modelled by activities
• every activity is described by its input/output
  (usually documents) and persons
• the state of the workflow is defined by the
  context (activities, documents, persons)

Basic functions of system RAPORT

• Knowledge management
• collect experience from users by using Active
  Notes
• present experience to other users working in
  similar context by Active Notes
• Schedule management
• check current training plans for important
  deadlines
• Templates distribution
• prepare necessary information (predefined
  e-mails, documents, formulas, ) before deadlines
  with users awareness
• Teamwork support
• support users experience exchange and
  collaboration

RAPORT ontology

• Workflow model
• description of workflow activities and events
• User model
• description of users working on activities
• Data model
• documents
• types e-mail, e-document, paper document, fax
