It is clear that to define all business process design details it is a hard task and
cooperation between business and IT experts is a must. These two types of users
must work on the same project and each of them must add the right detail to the
design based on their point of view. To insert the process design in the overall IS
architecture, that is, to make explicit and tangible the knowledge embedded in the
mind of IT and business experts, it is important to represent in a machine-readable
format the overall business process design with all details.
The project of BPMI is to define standards in order to cover the overall chain starting
from the business process design (through BPMN notation) to a business process
execution language, and finally, the efforts will be focused on a business process
query language that allows us to reach, through the right questions, information
about processes.
