### Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
Abstract. Although there is a long tradition of work in NLP on extracting entities and relations from text, to date there exists little work on the acquisition of business processes from unstructured data such as textual corpora of process descriptions. With this work we aim at filling this gap and establishing the first steps towards bridging data-driven information extraction methodologies from Natural Language Processing and the model-based formalization that is aimed from Business Process Management. For this, we develop the first corpus of business process descriptions annotated with activities, gateways, actors and flow information. We present our new resource, including a detailed overview of the annotation schema and guidelines, as well as a variety of baselines to benchmark the difficulty and challenges of business process extraction from text. |

## Dataset Creation |
|
|
|
The dataset construction process has been split in five main phases: |
|
1. Text pre-processing. As the first operation, we check the content of each document and we tokenized it. This initial check was necessary since some of the original texts were automatically translated into English by the authors of the dataset. The translations were never validated, indeed, several errors have been found and fixed. |
|
|
|
2. Text Annotation. Each text has been annotated by using the guidelines (https://pdi.fbk.eu/pet/annotation-guidelines-for-process-description.pdf). The team was composed by five annotators with high expertise in BPMN. Each document has been assigned to three experts that were in change of identifying all the elements and flows with each document. In this phase, we used the the Inception tool to support annotators. |
|
3. Automatic annotation fixing. After the second phase, we ran an automatic procedure relying on a rule-based script to automatically fix annotations that were not compliant with the guidelines. For example, if a modal verb was erroneously included in the annotation of an Activity, the procedure removed it from the annotation. Another example is the missing of the article within an annotation related to an Actor. In this case, the script included it in the annotation. This phase allowed to remove possible annotation errors and to obtain annotations compliant with the guidelines. |
|
|
|
4. Agreement Computation. Here, we computed, on the annotation provided by the experts, the agreement scores for each process element and for each relation between process elements pair adopting the methodology proposed in (George Hripcsak and Adam S. Rothschild. Technical brief: Agreement, the f-measure, and reliability in information retrieval. J. Am. Medical Informatics Assoc., 12(3):296–298, 2005.). We measured the agreement in terms of the F1 measure because, besides being straightforward to calculate, it is directly interpretable. Note that chance-corrected measures like κ approach the F1-measure as the number of cases that raters agree are negative grows. By following such a methodology, an annotation was considered in agreement among the experts if and only if they capture the same span of words and they assign the same process element tag to the annotation. |
|
|
|
5. Reconciliation. The last phase consisted of the mitigation of disagreements within the annotations provided by the experts. The aim of this phase is to obtain a shared and agreed set of gold standard annotations on each text for both entities and relations. Such entities also enable the generation of the related full-connected process model flow that can be rendered by using, but not limited to, a BPMN diagram. During this last phase, among the 47 documents originally included into the dataset, 2 of them were discarded. These texts were not fully annotated by the annotators since they were not be able to completely understand which process elements were actually included in some specific parts of the text. For this reason, the final size of the dataset is 45 textual descriptions of the corresponding process models together with their annotations. |
