Business process compliance has become more and more important function for business process management (BPM). One of challenges in this area is to check the business process compliance in the business process life-cycle (design-time, run-time).

In our approach, business process and the set of regulations are represented in a machine readable form. And we use that knowledge bases to check the compliance between them.
