Unfortunately the BPMN specification has increased an order of magnitude in technical complexity and fails to distinguish those elements needed for business process modeling from those required for process execution.

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the ARIS implementation of the BPMN 2.0 elements that are part of business process modeling documenting the process flow. Those parts that are needed for executable design are ignored. The elements relevant for business process modeling are essentially those displayed in a diagram.

The mapping described in the chapters of this document is based on the BPMN specification Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), version 2.0 (http://www.bpmn.org).

The attribute and model association tables are also taken from the BPMN 2.0 specification and extended to describe the implementation in ARIS.
