  In this paper, we introduce the SAP Signavio Academic Models (SAP-SAM)
dataset, a collection of hundreds of thousands of business models, mainly
process models in BPMN notation. The model collection is a subset of the models
that were created over the course of roughly a decade on academic.signavio.com,
a free-of-charge software-as-a-service platform that researchers, teachers, and
students can use to create business (process) models. We provide a preliminary
analysis of the model collection, as well as recommendations on how to work
with it. In addition, we discuss potential use cases and limitations of the
model collection from academic and industry perspectives.
