== What is BPDM ⌘==<br />
"framework for understanding and specifying the processes of an organization or community"<br />
<br />
== Why BPDM ⌘==<br />
* Many methodologies (TQM, 6σ, BPR, BPM, etc..)<br />
* No common language between the methodologies<br />
* There are only "island" of technology, methodology or notation<br />
* BPDM allows to represent and model BP independent of notation or methodology<br />
* MOF<br />
* Transferring models between tools and notations<br />
<br />
<br />
== Orchestration vs Choreography ⌘==<br />
* "Two sides of the same coin<br />
Orchestration:<br />
* flow chart<br />
* under the authority of some entity<br />
* defined order<br />
Choreography:<br />
* semi-independent and collaboration entities<br />
* each of entities has their own internal processes<br />
* captures interactions of rules<br />
<br />
== BPMN 2.0 and BPDM ⌘==<br />
* BPMN 2.0 has its own metamodel<br />
* Since most of the vendors support BPMN 2.0 BPDM is not that important anylonger<br />
<br />
== Others ⌘==<br />
* Tool vendors are the primary audience<br />
* Separating concerns: intended outcome of a processes from how that outcome is achieved<br />
* BPDM is technology independent<br />
* More reusability -> better Return on IT Investment<br />
<br />
== Procsess Concepts supported by BPDM ⌘==<br />
BPDM standardizes the underlying semantics, model and exchange mechanisms<br />
<br />
* All BPMN notation concepts<br />
* Processes, activities, tasks and sub-processes<br />
* Workflow<br />
* Sophisticated control of alternatives and parallel processes<br />
* Conditional execution paths<br />
* Signals and events<br />
* Time-based events and conditions<br />
* Events based on change in data or external conditions<br />
* Integration with rules and rules engines through event-based semantics<br />
* Process groups and swim-lanes<br />
* Transactions, rollback and compensation<br />
* Process data and data flow<br />
* Artifacts and artifact production and dependencies<br />
* A combination of human and automated process participants<br />
* Service Oriented Architectures and business services<br />
* Resource and entity selection<br />
* Roles, responsibilities & collaborations<br />
* Bi-directional and composite interactions between entities<br />
* Automated execution with MDA and process execution engines such as BPEL (See non-normative mapping to BPEL)<br />
* Interaction protocols, services and design by contract<br />
* Composite processes<br />
* UML activity, collaboration and interaction diagram concepts<br />
* Process specialization, derivation and refinement<br />
<br />
== Conformance ⌘==<br />
'''To Processes a Model''' Compliance:<br />
* Reading a BPDM model (MOF-2 XMI)<br />
* Writing a BPDM model (MOF-2 XMI)<br />
* Executing a model<br />

# BPDM Full Compliance<br />
