The (improved) digitalization of economy and administration is a common major endeavor. In general digitalization looks quite simpe: the currently semi-automated business processes are to be formalized and based of these formal business process models highly automated systems are to be developed. One challenge is to formalize the informal knowledge of the stakeholders driving the processes. To optimize and document business processes, it is important that different stakeholders can form a common understanding of them. This understanding is formally expressed in modeling languages like BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). However, misunderstandings and errors occur time and time again. This paper presents a novel approach, based on a three-dimensional representation of the process, which on the one hand maintains the clarity of the overall process, but also allows an improved representation of details. The stakeholders may play their roles in the processes with avatars, and these roles may be recorded as the base of a formal process model.

We present State Hopper, an interactive multimedia application that uses Linked Open Data to generate a map-based educational game. A prototype of the system using Europe as map was implemented in a student project. Goal of the game is to move from country to country by learning facts about the countries like population, GDP, size, and others. Each movement from one country to another country on the map generates new insights and allows the player to capture new knowledge about the countries.
