Designing and Implementing Business Process Models : ARIS Method manual : Modeling BPMN 2.0 : BPMN diagrams and ARIS model types: An overview
BPMN diagrams and ARIS model types: An overview
According to the BPMN 2.0 specification three diagram types are required for process modeling conformance: Process diagram, Collaboration diagram and Conversation diagram (See: Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), version 2.0. Page 2).
A careful consideration of these BPMN diagrams shows that the modeling constructs of the process diagram are a subset of the modeling constructs used in the collaboration diagram. There are also overlapping constructs in the collaboration and conversation diagram.
The model types listed in the following table are available in ARIS.
The BPMN allocation diagram allows the mapping of BPMN attributes and associations to the semantically richer ARIS method where graphical elements are often used to represent BPMN attributes and associations.

In models of the types Enterprise BPMN process diagram and Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram, the following object types of the ARIS methods are available as lane symbols in addition to the BPMN 2.0 specification:
*Application system type
*Organizational unit
*Position
*Role
*Group
In models of the types Enterprise BPMN process diagram and Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram, the following additional connections to task objects are available in addition to the BPMN 2.0 specification:
*Application system type supports Task
*Organizational unit supports Task
*Position carries out Task
*Role carries out Task
*Group carries out Task
