  • Abstract

    Graphical geoprocessing workflows are often built visually on interactive canvases of GIS software. Such workflows cannot be shared among different software, due to structural and semantical differences. This study experiments with a workflow created for ILWIS software and transforms it into a BPMN process model, exploiting XML serialisations of the two workflows. Ultimately, it aims at contributing to interoperability of geoprocessing workflows, through an extended approach serving as a frame around workflow conversion.
