Business Process Query Language (BPQL)
Business Process Query Language (BPQL) is a management interface to a business process management infrastructure that includes a process execution facility (process server) and a process deployment facility (process repository).
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.

Web Services, Service-Oriented Architectures, and Cloud Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide (Second Edition)
by Douglas K Barry with David Dick
This is a guide for the savvy manager who wants to capitalize on the wave of change that is occurring with Web Services, service-oriented architecture, and—more recently—Cloud Computing. The changes wrought by these technologies will require both a basic grasp of the technologies and an effective way to deal with how these changes will affect the people who build and use the systems in our organizations. This book covers both issues. Managers at all levels of all organizations must be aware of both the changes that we are now seeing and ways to deal with issues created by those changes.
