Abstract. We introduce a subject-driven approach to integrated process, task, and information management for knowledge
workers. This approach is realize in the Task and Personal Information Rendering (TAPIR) extension of the Semantic
Mediawiki that we present in this paper. The focus is placed on eliciting subjective process information from daily task
management. The approach starts from the insight that individuals are only sufficiently motivated to provide relevant process
information if they can directly benefit from their contributions. TAPIR uses process relevant information to support users in
their task management. Hereby it fosters S-BPM by gathering subjective process information that can be used for
organizational purposes.
