The SAP Signavio Process Database leverages a knowledge graph to harvest and integrate content artifacts across different SAP units and partners. The graph is used to deliver content products as so-called “design and suite accelerators”, based on an engineered, scalable, and highly automated content infrastructure. The Signavio Process Database stores process-related metadata as an RDF knowledge graph. The underlying infrastructure covers data loading, lifecycle management, and consumption.

The international team consists of development experts, researchers, and students.

The Signavio content engineering unit leverages SAP HANA and RDF (Resource Description Framework) technology to create an extensive process database containing a wealth of process-related metadata. This database is the basis for shipping value accelerators and for building AI applications, such as large-language models (LLMs) on knowledge graphs.

Your responsibilities cover the entire chain of process-related data management, including semantic data modeling, data loading and integration via extract-transform-load (ETL) tooling, and data quality assurance.
