BPMN2 — Missing definition of the participant Buyer

Table 10.19, the XML serialization of the Buyer process in figure 10.23 (pg. 150) is shown. The process model in figure 10.23 shows a Pool named Buyer. The metamodell provides the possibility to define pools as participants, which have a reference to the process definition. But Table 10.19 doesn’t contain any definition of a participant.

---Proposal--------------- 04/07/2010 -------------------------
##Proposed Resolution: Fixed

(a) Update Table 10.19 by replacing the XML with the following XML,which adds a collaboration with a participant and a laneSet. The collaboration represents the pool Buyer in figure 10.23 (pg. 150).
