In an interorganizational collaboration environment, due to different cultural backgrounds, participants from different organizations always have different views of modeling workflow process. Moreover, organizations require preserving privacy and autonomy of its own workflow. Therefore, workflow inter-visibility is expected to be as little as collaborations need. This paper proposes an approach of modeling loosely coupled interorganizational workflow considering different views of organizations. In this approach, organizations have their own local process views of modeling workflow process instead of sharing a predefined global workflow. Furthermore, we design compatibility analysis mechanism for different local process views to detect incompatibilities among organizations. Finally, we provide a demo tool for the proposed mechanism.
