A semantic dashboard description language for a process-oriented dashboard design methodology

Monitoring and controlling business processes is a challenging task: different data sources need to be combined, appropriate visualizations need to be defined to observe certain goals or Key Performance Indicators (KPI). In this paper, a new semantic dashboard description language used in a process-oriented dashboard design methodology is introduced, to help users focus more on business processes and actual goals and less on technical aspects of monitoring and controlling infrastructure. A reference implementation is described and plans for future improvements of the methodology are introduced.
