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 (new window) and BPEL4WS (new window).
On June 29, 2005, the Business Process Management Initiative and the Object Management Group announced the merger of their Business Process Management (BPM) activities. The combined activities will continue BPMI's and OMG's work and
focus on Business Process Management, including:
Refinement and promotion of BPMI's Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
as the basis for business modeling
Delivery of OMG's Business Process Definition Metamodel (BPDM)
Business language, vocabulary, and rules
BIM (Business Information Management)
EAI (Enterprise Application Integration)
B2B (Business to Business collaboration)
Web Services Information and Processes
Security Policy and Management
Refinement, promotion and education of the principles, approaches and
tenets of Business Process Management within the broader business community
The June 29 announcement also stated that the OMG will
continue integrating and reusing complementary business integration and Web
services standards such as WS-BPEL from OASIS, WSDL and XML Schema from W3C.
