This connects with my favorite topic: process model interchange and portability conformance classes. The thesis is simple and obvious: business analysts should capture/design business processes without needing to add the implementation details necessary for execution/enactment. These details can be added by IT to the same model. The business analyst should be able to review and edit the extended model, with implementation details hidden when desirable by an intelligent modeling tool. The BPMN model should be portable, across tools and tool vendors. To support this we need well-defined subsets of BPMN2.0, with conformance testing tools to help vendors build these capabilities and end-users benefit from them. Interested parties can refer to the following web sites: http://blog.processanalytica.com/2009/05/02/bpmn-process-interchange/ http://www.xpdl.org/nugen/p/gseonklyf/leaf.htm.
