abstract = {Process mining analyzes event data to improve real-world
processes. The use of various process models, each with
distinct representational biases, necessitates
transformations between them to leverage unique strengths
and tool support. The emerging field of object-centric
process mining predominantly lacks such methods. This thesis
addresses this gap by proposing bidirectional
transformations between object-centric causal nets, a newly
proposed formalism, and object-centric Petri nets, a
well-established process model. This work contributes formal
definitions of the transformations, formal proofs of their
correctness, a publicly available implementation, a
qualitative evaluation, and play-out and replay procedures
for both process models. An object-centric Petri net is
transformed into a behaviorally equivalent object-centric
causal net. Conversely, an object-centric causal net is
transformed into an object-centric Petri net that underfits
the initial net. Our qualitative evaluation shows that the
degree of underfitting is directly related to the structure
of the initial object-centric causal net, particularly the
number of activities having markers allowed to consume a
variable amount of obligations.},
