A conversation link is used to link participants with conversation nodes. A conversation node has at least two participants.

There is an inconsistency in the specification: Sometimes the name Communication links is used, sometimes the name Conversation link.

N-ary (n > 2) conversations are allowed.

In ARIS the connection type participates in (Participant participates in Conversation) has been introduced. The passive name of the connection type is has conversation link to (Conversation has conversation link to Participant). Specific attributes are not required.

The fork shown at the source of a conversation link must be manually set by the modeler using the property dialog of the relevant connection type.
