A multimedia dataset for object-centric business process mining in IT asset management

This manuscript introduces a multimedia business process dataset provided by a German research institute. The dataset was systematically collected in a laboratory environment that reflects the workspace of IT staff managing IT Asset Management (ITAM) processes. It encompasses data from 121 process instances across six basic processes, captured using 37 video recordings from two camera perspectives, motion tracking, environmental sensors, an ITAM system trace, and event log data from user interactions. The data is made available in its raw state and processed form. The object-centric event log format (OCEL) provides discrete business process events from system activities. Event data from reality is supplied as raw video files and logs from environmental sensors. The video files were also manually labelled with identifiable business process activities and their associated entities. This multimedia dataset has been designed as a resource for developing, training, and evaluating process mining techniques based on unstructured data. Consequently, the dataset design emphasizes the traceability of activities and entities across the multimedia data sources.
