Katalin Ternai, Ildikó Borbásné Szabó · Lecture notes in computer science · 2016
Institutions are getting increasingly motivated to participate in an internationalization audit because the competitiveness of higher education institutions resides not only in the number of qualified students employed by organizations within a given period, but the Internationalization is also a crucial point in the evaluation. The aim of an audit is to help institutions with detailed recommendations to increase efficiency and quality of their internationalization activities. The present paper aims to provide and elaborate a semi-automatic application, which can be used to perform the internationalization audit of higher education institutions. The guidelines must be adapted by institutions are articulated in unstructured texts shaped into Erasmus+ Programme Guide, but business processes are formalized into business process models. This paper presents an information system that is capable of extracting business process elements from unstructured texts. Process ontologies store these extracted elements and actual business process elements as well for providing a unified base to execute compliance checking investigation between actual and reference business processes.
