Industrialisation: vision
a production system which could produce only
with the help of metadata a statistical product
with the right specifications at minimum costs,
given the changing available sources and
resources
Still far away 
Industrialistion: re-use of
• Data (inside offices: extention of our output
databases, micro and macro)
• Metadata (the meaning of and the making of)
• Processes (tools), small building blocks
Don’t do things twice

The questions
To what extent can GSBPM be used for managing the
quality of the processes?
Q 1. Model: How can GSBPM be used to manage
the quality of the process? What is needed
from the model? What is missing in the model?
Q 2. Role: What is the role or function of process
metadata in a metadata driven business
process? How can it support process
integration and standardisation?
Q 3. Type: What type of process related
metadata is needed? Do you see a relation
between these types of metadata and GSBPM?
Q 4. Quality: We have quality dimensions for the
product. Do we also need to develop quality
dimensions for the process?
