}

Setup

You need to download the [dataset](insert link) and place it into the folder ./data/raw such that the models are in ./data/raw/sap_sam_2022/models.

We provide two conda environment.yml files that can be used to create a new environment and install the required dependencies:

• environment.yml: contains the abstract dependencies (pandas, numpy, ...).
• environment-lock.yml: contains versions for all dependencies and the transitive dependencies to ensure reproducible results.

You can use the following conda command to create the environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml  

or

conda env create -f environment-lock.yml  

Getting started

We provide a tutorial Jupyter Notebook that illustrates the dataset format in more detail and shows how to use the csv parsers developed in ./src.

The properties Jupyter Notebook gives an overview of selected properties of the dataset.

Dataset Format

The dataset contains 103 csv files with a rough size of 38 GB of process models (see modeling notations of the models below).

CSV Format

1. csv columns:
   • Revision ID: Unique identifier for model revision
   • Model ID: Unique identifier for model
   • Organization ID: Unique identifier for organization this model originates from
   • Datetime: Date and time of creation
   • Model JSON: JSON containing model information
   • Description: Description of model (typically empty)
   • Name: Model name
   • Type: Model type (duplicate and less specific than namespace)
   • Namespace: Stencilset/modeling notation (e.g. BPMN, DMN, UML,...)
2. Number of models: 1,021,471
3. Number of models by modeling notation:

Dummy Data

In order to remove personal first and last names, emails or in some cases matriculations numbers (which users have added in non-compliance with the T&Cs), we have applied a simple replacement script. In particular, we have replaced - to the extent possible - emails, names, and (matriculation) numbers with the following dummy values:

Context	Dummy
Email Dummy	[email protected]
Name Dummy	Jane Doe
Matriculation/Number Dummy	12345678
