Many different process meta-models offer different viewpoints of a same information system engineering process: activity oriented, product oriented, decision oriented, context oriented and strategy oriented. However, the complementarity between their concepts is not explicit and there is no consensus about the concepts themselves. This leads to inadequate process meta-models with organization needs, so the instantiated models do not correspond to the specific demands and constraints of the organizations or projects. Nevertheless, method engineers should be able to build process meta-models according to the specific organization needs. We propose a method to build unified, fitted and multi-viewpoints process meta-models. The method is composed of two phases and is based on a process domain ontology and patterns.
