BPMN
A standard Business Process Modeling Notation
(BPMN) will provide businesses with the capability of
understanding their internal business procedures in a
graphical notation and will give organizations the ability
to communicate these procedures in a standard manner.
Furthermore, the graphical
notation will facilitate the understanding of the
performance collaborations and business transactions between
the organizations. This will ensure that businesses will
understand themselves and participants in their business and
will enable organizations to adjust to new internal and B2B
business circumstances quickly.
The
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) specification
provides a graphical notation for expressing business
processes in a Business Process Diagram (BPD). The BPMN
specification also provides a binding between the notation's
graphical elements and the constructs of block-structured
process execution languages, including BPML and BPEL4WS. The
first draft of BPMN was made available to the public on
November 13, 2002.
The final specification of
BPML was made available to the public on May 4, 2004.
