Standards Work in Progress
The BMI’s combined activities continue BPMI’s and OMG’s groundbreaking work and focus on all aspects of Business Process Management. BPMI’s widely used standard for business modeling, Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), and the Business Motivation Model (BMM) contributed by the Business Rules Group, have been adopted as official OMG specifications.
The BPMN final adopted specification is available for download, while the draft adopted BMM specification is downloadable. Both specifications are in the finalization phase. The specifications are available for download from OMG's specification catalog, http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/spec_catalog.htm. Separately, a new standard defining the Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR) has been adopted. The Final Adopted Specification may be downloaded from OMG’s Domain Specifications Catalog web page.
Anyone interested in participating in the BMI’s standards development efforts is invited to attend an OMG Technical Meeting; check here for the dates and locations of upcoming meetings. Non-members may apply for a guest registration. For more information on attending the technical meeting, visit http://www.omg.org/meeting-info.htm.
