See: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), version 2.0.
The BPMN process diagram depicts a BPMN process. A process is a specialization of a FlowElementsContainer. So, it contains the following elements:
*flow nodes (event, activity, and gateway)
*sequence flow
*artifacts (see chapter Artifacts)
Mapping the attributes and model associations to ARIS:

The BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0) that contains the process
A process is a particular construct: On the one hand it is a model. On the other hand a process can be visualized within a pool in a collaboration. But a pool is not identical with a process, and vice versa. A pool represents a participant in a collaboration (see chapter Collaboration). A pool may contain the process the participant uses in a specific collaboration.
The core elements for modeling a BPMN process are those constructs which can be connected to each other by sequence flow. They are called flow nodes. The corresponding ARIS object types and their symbols provided in the Symbols bar are listed in the table below.
