Abstract. Business Process models help to visualize the processes of an organization. There are open-source process execution engines that provide the environments for enacting process models. However, they lack of semantization capabilities. In this paper, an overview of Business Process semantization techniques is provided. Moreover, we discuss the common architecture of the selected open-source process execution environments (Activiti, jBPM and Camunda) and provide the insights how they can be improved using semantization methods. We also present the use of the introduced techniques in the Prosecco (Processes Semantics Collaboration for Companies) research project.
