How to Implement this?
H1: Our ontology-based support approach will not increase time consumption for modeling and reconciliation; H2: Our ontology-based support approach will not increase extraneous cognitive load; H3: Our ontology-based support approach will improve the labeling of activities; H4: Our ontology-based support approach will not increase mental effort for model creation.
