FYI: Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) - Honorable mention forebXML

["William J. Kammerer" <wkammerer@foresightcorp.com>]

What is BPML?

The Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) is an XML Schema that
provides a standard way to model mission-critical business processes.
BPML covers dimensions of business process modeling that are specific to
processes internal to the enterprise, including business rules, security
roles, distributed transactions, compensating transactions, and
exception handling. As such BPML bridges the gap between legacy IT
infrastructures and emerging business-to-business collaboration
protocols such as RosettaNet, BizTalk, and ebXML.

What is the relationship between BPMI.org and ebXML?

BPMI.org and ebXML are addressing complementary aspects of e-Business
process integration. While ebXML provides a standard way to manage
Collaborative Business Processes (CBP), BPMI.org focuses on the
modeling, deployment, and management of Enterprise Business Processes
(EBP).
