ocpa: A Python library for object-centric process analysis

Software Impacts, vol. 14, pp. 100438

Abstract

ocpa is a Python library supporting object-centric process mining. Traditional process mining generates insights for one single process. However, many real-life processes are composed of multiple interacting subprocesses and events may involve multiple objects. Object-centric process mining provides techniques for analyzing multiple interacting processes by generalizing process mining techniques. ocpa contains algorithms for object-centric event log management, process discovery, conformance checking, enhancement, and predictive process monitoring. ocpa is easily integrable with existing solutions as it supports existing object-centric event log standards, provides extensive documentation, and is installable through the Python package installer.
