This perspective considers the ontological and situated knowledge oriented to achieve consistent and coherent BPM. A conceptual process modeling method is proposed, been aware of enterprise architecture conceptualization, and considering the business process ontological knowledge, the functional knowledge with which the process operates, as well as the organizational context.
