Abstract. Popularization of process approach as a standard necessitates changing the ways of defining and identifying requisite competencies. They should be seen in the framework of tasks implemented within the business process. The complex nature of competencies requires expressive forms of description regarding their multidimensional character therefore, codification of competencies is the area predestinated to make use of ontologies. The aim of this paper is to show how the ontology describing competencies can be linked with business process models to support process-oriented, dynamic competency management in a company. With this aim in mind a proposal of practical implementation of ontology-enhanced business process model was presented and illustrated by the example of software development.
