System and/or method for interactive natural semantic digitization of enterprise process models

A method of creating a computerized model usable in connection with a modeling platform, the computerized model being defined in connection with a formalized modeling language, the method comprising:

• receiving, over an audio input interface, audio input of an orally-described model from which the computerized model is to be created, the orally-described model having semantic concepts associable with the formalized modeling language but following a natural language pattern rather than an input pattern expected by the formalized modeling language;
• recognizing, using processing resources including at least one processor and a memory operably coupled thereto, the semantic concepts included in the orally-described model, the recognizing including a plurality of different identification levels, the different identification levels respectively corresponding to recognitions of semantic concepts in the orally-described model including (a) objects for inclusion in the computerized model, (b) object types for the recognized objects, and (c) connections between at least some of the recognized objects, wherein at least some of the semantic concepts are recognizable from a domain-specific grammar that includes possible semantic concepts that are arranged hierarchically and associated with a domain to which the computerized model being created belongs, and wherein at least some others of the semantic concepts are recognizable from a general grammar that includes other possible semantic concepts that are relevant to the computerized model and that are arranged hierarchically but that are domain-independent;
• generating a digitized iteratively-reviewed version of the orally-described model by:
• presenting, on a display device and on an identification level by identification level basis, results of the recognitions corresponding to at least some of the respective identification levels, and
• accepting user modification(s) to the results on the identification level by identification level basis;
• and
• transforming the digitized iteratively-reviewed version of the orally-described model into the computerized model in accordance with a set of rules defining relationships between elements in the digitized iteratively-reviewed version of the orally-described model and the formalized modeling language.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly storing a program for creating a computerized model usable in connection with an enterprise modeling platform, the computerized model being defined in connection with a formalized modeling language, the program being executable on a computing system comprising an audio input interface, a display device, and processing resources including at least one processor and a memory operably coupled thereto, wherein the program is executable to perform functionality comprising:

• receiving, over the audio input interface, audio input of an orally-described model from which the computerized model is to be created, the orally-described model having semantic concepts associable with the formalized modeling language but following a natural language pattern rather than an input pattern expected by the formalized modeling language;
• recognizing, using processing resources including at least one processor and a memory operably coupled thereto, the semantic concepts included in the orally-described model, the recognizing including a plurality of different identification levels, the different identification levels respectively corresponding to recognitions of semantic concepts in the orally-described model including (a) objects for inclusion in the computerized model, (b) object types for the recognized objects, and (c) connections between at least some of the recognized objects, wherein at least some of the semantic concepts are recognizable from a domain-specific grammar that includes possible semantic concepts that are arranged hierarchically and associated with a domain to which the computerized model being created belongs, and wherein at least some others of the semantic concepts are recognizable from a general grammar that includes other possible semantic concepts that are relevant to the computerized model and that are arranged hierarchically but that are domain-independent;
