The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

Definitive XML Schema by Priscilla Walmsley Average Customer Review: based on 32 reviews. Customer Review: Walmsley's book is the one I go to as the reference for W3C Schema. It is clear and very accurate and reliable. I find the examples relevant and helpful. I had to chuckle at a previous review that couldn't understand why something was found in multiple places. Well perhaps it is used in several places. I would be happy that the inde...
XML Schema by Eric van der Vlist, Eric van der Vlist Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews. Customer Review: This book is very dry and terse. It has all of the required content but it doesn't provide much perspective of how it should be used. You could use it as a reference, but I recommend the XML Schema Companion before this one.
Modeling Business Objects with XML Schema (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Software Engineering and Programming) by Berthold Daum Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews. Customer Review: This is the best book out there on XML. If you want an intro to XML get Mark Johnson's article "XML for the Absolute Beginner." If you want to go in depth, this is the place to go. Unlike the hundreds of other books that just describe what XML and XML Schema are, Daum's book gets deeply into why it is the way it is, by exploring how ...
Essential XML Quick Reference: A Programmer's Reference to XML, XPath, XSLT, XML Schema, SOAP, and More by Aaron Skonnard, Martin Gudgin Average Customer Review: based on 21 reviews. Customer Review: This is, as the title suggests, and essential reference book for XML. Topics from beginner to advanced are covered. Do note though, don't be fooled by the whimsical cover, this book is *dry*. It's not exactly a read-through type of book unless you're just really stoked about knowing everything it has to offer about XML. I would sugg...
