Process knowledge concerns both the type of activities chosen to fulfil a certain goal and the skills and experience of users in executing specific tasks. This knowledge is exploited by recommendation tools to support the design and enactment of current and future process instances. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The literature about traditional BPM is analysed to highlight the limitations of traditional BPM regarding management of ad hoc and semi-structured processes. Having identified this gap, an innovative BPM framework based on social tagging is proposed to address these limitations. This model is exemplified in a real case scenario and evaluated through the implementation of a prototype and a case study in real world non-profit organisation. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 An overview of the social BPM framework is presented, introducing the concepts of role and task recommendation, which are supported by social tagging. The prototype shows the buildability of the social BPM framework as an extension of a Wiki platform. The case study demonstrates that the social BPM framework improves user collaborativeness in designing and executing process instances. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The applicability of the framework is targeted to ad hoc and possibly semi-structured business processes and it does not extend to highly procedural and codified processes. A single case study limits the generalisability of the evaluation results. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The social BPM framework is the first to introduce task and role recommendation supported by social tagging to overcome the limitations of traditional BPM models.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bpmj-06-2015-0080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,27]],"date-time":"2016-07-27T09:50:09Z","timestamp":1469613009000},"page":"835-859","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A framework to capture and reuse process knowledge in business process design and execution using social tagging"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Ehson","family":"Rangiha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Comuzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Bill","family":"Karakostas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020121421580403300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brambilla, M.\n and \n Fraternali, P.\n (2012), \u201cCombining social web and BPM for improving enterprise performances\u201d, The BPM4People Approach to Social BPM.
