N2 - Business policies are pervasive in web-based information systems and the introduction of the semantic web has opened new fertile horizons for their representation and automated processing. However, a number of challenges have also emerged. First is the formal representation and handling of contradictory business policies. Second, is the extraction of process models from a given set of business policies. This paper reports on a semantic, rule-based information system for business policies representation, and argumentative reasoning to resolve conflicts and integrate them to produce a business process model for a given task. We demonstrate the working of the proposed system with help of a case study.
