After determining the business processes of the organization, anddescribing their workflows by means of activity diagrams, use cases are elicited and structured starting from the activitiesof each process, while the concepts of the conceptual model are obtained from the data that flow between activities. Furthermore,business rules are identified and included in a glossary, as part of the data and activities specification. One notable aspectof our proposal is that use case and conceptual modeling are performed at the same time, thus making the identification andspecification of suitable use cases easier. Both use case and conceptual modeling belong to the requirements analysis phase,which is part of a complete process model on whose definition we are currently working. This process is being experimentedin a mediumsized organism of a Regional Public Administration.
