What is it about?

As in many other aspects of life, international standards are important in Software Engineering. However, put together, there are inconsistency and even contradictions among these standards - even when developed by international standardization bodies.

Why is it important?

To harmonize these standards, we need a shared conceptualization and a common reference model reflecting this shared conceptualization, i.e., a common ontology. We propose a language for facilitating the development of such conceptualization and reference model in the area of process standards. The language does that by offering to the modeler a number of conceptual building blocks.
