RePROSitory: a Repository Platform for Sharing Business PROcess modelS

The BPM community can certainly benefit from the adoption of open science principles. The availability of business process models can make BPM research results more controllable, replicable, and comparable. Unfortunately, in our experience, it is quite difficult to find open collections of models suitable to effectively validate research proposals in the BPM field. To address this issue, we have developed a web-based repository of process models, named RePROSitory, for sharing BPMN models, making them accessible to the community. We have started to systematically populate the repository with a collection of BPMN models, manually selected from the literature. The experience of models retrieval from RePROSitory is enhanced by the implementation of more than two hundreds quality metrics. These allow researchers to select from RePROSitory a set of models that they judge more suitable for the experiments they want to run.
