”Send_inquiry”(PM A ) → ”Send_quotation”(PM A )
→ ”Credit_control”(PM B2 ) → ”Delivering_Processing”(PM A )
{”Deliver_items_to_f ranchisee”(PM B2 )}; ”Deliver_items_to_shops”(PM B2 )}

→ ”Issue_invoice”(PM B2 ).
• Step 3. Re-order the sequence of integrating activities.
In Step 2, we are able to figure out the ontological relationships between the activities,
but we need sequential relationship to integrate them as a process. For instance,
the sequence of activities in the integration can be further refined through
checking the sequential Activity and sub-Activities of "Send_quotation" in PM A
and the preceding Activities and sub-Activities of "Credit_control" in PM B2 .
Applying SWRL queries and rules QRule-Activity-hasSucceedingActivities
and QRule-Activity-hasPrecedingActivities for RE1 and QRule-ActivityhasPrecedingActivities-hasSubActivity
for RE3.2 to rearrange the sequence
of integrated process model fragments. Activity sequences are further checked
with the SCOR domain ontology, and adjustment of the sequence and hierarchy
of activities is made according to the integration context.
Query Question: Navigate the succeeding Activities of "Send_quotation" in
PM A and the preceding Activities of "Credit_control" in PM B2 .
Query Answer: "Client_quotation_processing" is found as the succeeding Activity
of "Send_quotation" in PM A (Figure 9.9), and "Check_stock" and "Correct_orders"
are retrieved as the preceding Activities of "Credit_control" in PM B2
