Enhancing Data-Awareness of Object-Centric Event Logs
Alexandre Goossens, Johannes De Smedt, Jan Vanthienen, Wil van der, Aalst

TL;DR
This paper introduces a new enriched object-centric event log format called DOCEL, which supports dynamic attributes and better links attributes to objects and events, enhancing process mining capabilities.
Contribution
The paper proposes a novel log format and an algorithm to convert existing logs into this data-aware format, addressing limitations of current object-centric event logs.
Findings
Current formats lack support for dynamic attributes.
The proposed DOCEL format enables richer process analysis.
An algorithm for automatic conversion to DOCEL is developed.
Abstract
When multiple objects are involved in a process, there is an opportunity for processes to be discovered from different angles with new information that previously might not have been analyzed from a single object point of view. This does require that all the information of event/object attributes and their values are stored within logs including attributes that have a list of values or attributes with values that change over time. It also requires that attributes can unambiguously be linked to an object, an event or both. As such, object-centric event logs are an interesting development in process mining as they support the presence of multiple types of objects. First, this paper shows that the current object-centric event log formats do not support the aforementioned aspects to their full potential since the possibility to support dynamic object attributes (attributes with changing…
