Some important information on the Object Management Group's Business Process Modeling and Notation 2 Request for Proposal (OMG BPMN 2 RFP, http://doc.omg.org/bmi/07-06-05) was not discussed in David Frankel's otherwise excellent article quoted above ("Requirements for BPMN 2.0", BPTrends, June 2008, http://tinyurl.com/5nux7b). A prominent aspect of the RFP is the requirement for reconciliation of BPMN 1.x and the Business Process Definition Metamodel (BPDM) into a single language and model. BPDM accurately captures business processes on a highly reusable foundation for business standards. It provides a business-level semantics, flexibility across choreography and orchestration, and enables compliance with rules and policies, and process management, among other capabilities. More introduction is available in: - Presentations at http://doc.omg.org/bmi/08-03-14 and http://doc.omg.org/bmi/2007-03-09. - Section 4, Design Rationale, of http://doc.omg.org/bmi/2008-02-03. - Tutorial slides at http://doc.omg.org/omg/08-06-32 OMG recognized the benefits of BPDM and the popularity of BPMN, leading it to require a single, unified notation and model combining BPDM and BPMN. This provides the capabilities of both at the same time, as compared to mapping between two separate languages. Two models and languages would force users to move between them depending on the feature they wanted at any particular time. The OMG arrived at this requirement through a vetting process open to all members. We hope this provides your readers with useful information about BPDM and the OMG BPMN 2 RFP.

Thanks for this post. Some important information on the Object
Management Group’s Business Process Modeling and Notation 2 Request for
Proposal (OMG BPMN 2 RFP, http://doc.omg.org/bmi/07-06-05) was not
discussed in David Frankel’s otherwise excellent article quoted above
(“Requirements for BPMN 2.0″, BPTrends, June 2008,
http://tinyurl.com/5nux7b). A prominent aspect of the RFP is the
requirement for reconciliation of BPMN 1.x and the Business Process
Definition Metamodel (BPDM) into a single language and model.

BPDM accurately captures business processes on a highly reusable
foundation for business standards. It provides a business-level
semantics, flexibility across choreography and orchestration, and
enables compliance with rules and policies, and process management,
among other capabilities. More introduction is available in:

– Presentations at http://doc.omg.org/bmi/08-03-14 and
http://doc.omg.org/bmi/2007-03-09.

– Section 4, Design Rationale, of http://doc.omg.org/bmi/2008-02-03.

OMG recognized the benefits of BPDM and the popularity of BPMN, leading
it to require a single, unified notation and model combining BPDM and
BPMN. This provides the capabilities of both at the same time, as
compared to mapping between two separate languages. Two models and
languages would force users to move between them depending on the
feature they wanted at any particular time. The OMG arrived at this
requirement through a vetting process open to all members.

We hope this provides your readers with useful information about BPDM
and the OMG BPMN 2 RFP.
