bpmn2neo 0.1.6

Load BPMN 2.0 diagrams into Neo4j and create node embeddings for Graph-RAG.

bpmn2neo

Load BPMN 2.0 diagrams into Neo4j and create node embeddings for Graph-RAG.

---

1) Overview

bpmn2neo ingests BPMN 2.0 (.bpmn) files, persists a clean BPMN knowledge graph in Neo4j 5.x, then generates hierarchical embeddings for Graph-RAG.
The library is production-oriented: clean configuration via Pydantic .env, and a minimal public API.

• Parser & Loader: turn .bpmn XML into a normalized Neo4j schema.
• Embedding Orchestrator: builds node-level context and embeddings in a top-down order (Collaboration → Participant → Process → Lane → FlowNode).
• Graph-RAG ready: each node stores explanatory text and vector.

---

2) Key Features

BPMN → Neo4j Loader

• Robust XML parsing with clear phases (collaboration/participants → processes → lane → flownode → message flow/data objec/etc.).
• Builds nodes and relationships, mapping each BPMN element’s tag attributes to node properties.
• Structured logs for each phase, with try/except and error reporting.

👉 Schema details: see the guide
Neo4j Graph Schema Guide

Hierarchical Context & Embedding

• For each node, the pipeline runs:
  Reader → Builder → ContextWriter → Embedder
• Generates text per node, then embeds using the configured embedding model.
• Order: FlowNode → Lane → Process → Participant → Model (Collaboration).
  This preserves hierarchy so parents can summarize/aggregate children.

Python API (recommended)

from bpmn2neo import load_bpmn_to_neo4j, create_node_embeddings, load_and_embed
from bpmn2neo.settings import Settings

s = Settings()  # reads .env via pydantic-settings

# 1) Load only
model_keys = load_bpmn_to_neo4j(
    bpmn_path="./data/bpmn/Order Process for Pizza.bpmn", #Your Path
    settings=s,
)
print("model_keys:", model_keys)

# 2) Embedding only
create_node_embeddings(model_key=model_keys[0], settings=s)

# 3) Pipeline (load + embed)
result = load_and_embed(
    bpmn_path="./data/bpmn/Order Process for Pizza.bpmn", #Your Path
    settings=s,
)
print("final model_key:", result["model_key"])

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Neo4j 5.x (Bolt reachable).
  Ensure the user has MATCH/CREATE/MERGE/SET/DELETE and index/constraint privileges.
• OpenAI API key (for embeddings & text generation).

Configuration & Tips

• Settings resolution: Settings() reads environment variables (and .env) using pydantic-settings. Keys are prefixed (e.g., B2N_NEO4J__URI).
• Model key: if not provided, the loader derives it from the BPMN filename (stem).
• Security: you may use keyring aliases instead of plain secrets (see comments in settings.py).

---

Troubleshooting

• Cannot connect to Neo4j

  • Verify B2N_NEO4J__URI (neo4j://host:7687 or neo4j+s://... for Aura).
  • Check firewall, DB auth, and database name.

• OpenAI errors

  • Ensure B2N_OPENAI__API_KEY set; consider rate limits and retries.
