Popis: In enterprise modeling, organizational structures as well as an enterprise’s processes and important artifacts (e.g., business knowledge stored in documents) are captured formally using different kinds of models. These models are not only used for documentation purposes, but they are also used to provide guidance for employees. For example, the models may impose rules on artifact access (i.e., who is allowed to view or manipulate certain artifacts) or they may define workflows for individual processes (e.g., which employees should perform which adaptation steps, and in which order). However, existing enterprise modeling approaches typically support only coarse-grained artifacts. For instance, only individual files can be associated with workflow tasks. Unfortunately, enterprise artifacts are typically of high complexity (e.g., spreadsheets contain millions of data cells). Therefore, it is not sufficient to provide employees only with information about the artifacts involved in a task, but it is necessary to provide more detailed information (e.g., which cells in a spreadsheet are relevant).
