Lanes
A lane is a subdivision of a process or a pool. Lanes have no semantics in BPMN. BPMN 2.0 uses lanes as a way to categorizes Flow Elements. Most often lanes represent organizational elements, but in principle any categorization may be used for lanes. Lanes may contain nested sub-lanes. A lane set specifies the categorization represented by the lanes.
See: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), version 2.0.
Like a pool a lane is drawn as a rectangular box, its label is not boxed off.
