- 4. Definitions ● BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) is a graphical representation for specifying business processes in a business process model. ● BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) is an XML-based language that allows Web services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to interconnect and share data.
- 5. Flow objects Flow objects are the main BPMN constructs that define the behavior of a business process. There are three categories of flow objects: ● Activities: they represent the work performed within a business process ● Gateways: they represent how a sequence flow diverges or converges in a business process ● Events: they depict that something happens in a business process
