BEA Aqualogic BPM Gets Collaborative Around Processes

BEA integrates several of their collaboration-oriented tools around their BEA Aqualogic BPM suite (aka Fuego). Something I've been thinking about is using weblogs with their categorization and tagging functionality to link to business processes and process activities in a dynamic, process-oriented knowledge store. One part of the BEA announcement that seems to tie to that in particular says:


Process-enabled, enterprise knowledge. AquaLogic Interaction's Knowledge Directory is designed to provide seamless, structured access to information across unstructured and structured enterprise source systems, including Documentum, Microsoft SharePoint, FileNet, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, Windows and Novell File Systems and more. Links to items from these systems can be attached to business processes in support of the individual activities within the process.

I've been trying to find the right way to rebuild this blogs categories to match the APQC PCF process categories that the information pertains to. The idea would be to be able to have a dynamic link or search built from a process category, process, or activity in our business architecture in order to find the up-to-the-minute blog postings and knowledge that pertain to that process category. This looks like BEA is headed in that direction also.
