The BPMN Model Interchange Working Group (MIWG) aims to facilitate and promote the interchange of BPMN models among various tools following the BPMN standard. It focuses on defining test cases, resolving vendor issues, and establishing a demonstration infrastructure to support model interchange. The group welcomes contributions and provides resources such as test suites and validation tools for testing BPMN tools.

- 3. BPMN MIWG Charter Mandate Facilitate and demonstrate BPMN Model Interchange amongst tools that implement the standard Define various test cases that address both breadth and depth of BPMN Model Interchange taking into consideration the various defined conformance classes of the BPMN standard (Initial scope will be limited to the Process Modeling Conformance Class and its sub-classes) Resolve vendors’ misinterpretation of the specification that inhibit BPMN Model Interchange Guide and support vendor into their implementations of the standard Identify and report defects that break BPMN Model Interchange Identify and report BPMN specification Model Interchange issues to the BPMN RTF for resolution Establish a BPMN Model Interchange demonstration infrastructure to support the above, including: Demonstration Processes, Guidelines, and Validation tools. www.omgwiki.org/bpmn-miwg/
