While the current variety of languages may suit different modeling environments, there are those who advocate for the development or emergence of a single, comprehensive standard, combining the strengths of different existing languages. It is suggested that in time, this could help to unify the expression of basic business process concepts (e.g., public and private processes, choreographies), as well as advanced process concepts (e.g., exception handling, transaction compensation). </p><p>Two new standards, using a similar approach to BPMN have been developed, addressing case management modeling (<a href="/wiki/CMMN" title="CMMN">Case Management Model and Notation</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Decision_model" title="Decision model">decision modeling</a> (<a href="/wiki/Decision_Model_and_Notation" title="Decision Model and Notation">Decision Model and Notation</a>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Topics">Topics</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Business_Process_Model_and_Notation&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Topics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scope">Scope</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Business_Process_Model_and_Notation&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Scope"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>BPMN is constrained to support only the concepts of modeling applicable to business processes.

BPMN is designed to cover this wide range of usage and allows modeling of end-to-end business processes to allow the viewer of the Diagram to be able to easily differentiate between sections of a BPMN Diagram.

If swim lanes are used then a private business process will be contained within a single Pool. The Sequence Flow of the Process is therefore contained within the Pool and cannot cross the boundaries of the Pool. Message Flow can cross the Pool boundary to show the <a href="/wiki/Social_interaction" class="mw-redirect" title="Social interaction">interactions</a> that exist between separate private business processes.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Abstract (public) processes</dt> <dd>This represents the interactions between a private business process and another process or participant. Only those activities that communicate outside the private business process are included in the abstract process. All other “internal” activities of the private business process are not shown in the abstract process. Thus, the abstract process shows to the outside world the sequence of messages that are required to interact with that business process. Abstract processes are contained within a Pool and can be modeled separately or within a larger BPMN Diagram to show the Message Flow between the abstract process activities and other entities. If the abstract process is in the same Diagram as its corresponding private business process, then the activities that are common to both processes can be associated.</dd></dl> <dl><dt>Collaboration (global) processes</dt> <dd>A collaboration process depicts the interactions between two or more business entities. These interactions are defined as a sequence of activities that represent the message exchange patterns between the entities involved. Collaboration processes may be contained within a Pool and the different participant business interactions are shown as Lanes within the Pool. In this situation, each Lane would represent two participants and a direction of travel between them. They may also be shown as two or more Abstract Processes interacting through Message Flow (as described in the previous section). These processes can be modeled separately or within a larger BPMN Diagram to show the Associations between the collaboration process activities and other entities. If the collaboration process is in the same Diagram as one of its corresponding private business process, then the activities that are common to both processes can be associated.</dd></dl> <p>Within and between these three BPMN sub-models, many types of Diagrams can be created. The following are the types of business processes that can be modeled with BPMN (those with asterisks may not map to an executable language): </p> <ul><li>High-level private process activities (not functional breakdown)*</li> <li>Detailed private business process</li> <li>As-is or old business process*</li> <li>To-be or new business process</li> <li>Detailed private business process with interactions to one or more external entities (or “Black Box” processes)</li> <li>Two or more detailed private business processes interacting</li> <li>Detailed private business process relationship to Abstract Process</li> <li>Detailed private business process relationship to Collaboration Process</li> <li>Two or more Abstract Processes*</li> <li>Abstract Process relationship to Collaboration Process*</li> <li>Collaboration Process only (e.g., ebXML BPSS or RosettaNet)*</li> <li>Two or more detailed private business processes interacting through their Abstract Processes and/or a Collaboration Process</li></ul> <p>BPMN is designed to allow all the above types of Diagrams. However, it should be cautioned that if too many types of sub-models are combined, such as three or more private processes with message flow between each of them, then the Diagram may become difficult to understand. Thus, the OMG recommends that the modeler pick a focused purpose for the BPD, such as a private or collaboration process. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comparison_with_other_process_modeling_notations">Comparison with other process modeling notations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Business_Process_Model_and_Notation&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Comparison with other process modeling notations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Event-driven_process_chain" title="Event-driven process chain">Event-driven process chains</a> (EPC) and BPMN are two notations with similar expressivity when <a href="/wiki/Process_modeling" title="Process modeling">process modeling</a> is concerned.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A BPMN model can be transformed into an EPC model.
