XES-Format (EN)

XES-Format

The XES-Format (eXtensible Event Stream) is an XML-based standard format for exchanging event logs in process mining. It enables standardized description of event data with a uniform structure that supports various attributes and event types. In the module, the Open-XES toolkit is used to convert event data into XES format to ensure compatibility with various process mining tools. This standard promotes interoperability between different systems and facilitates further data processing.
