    XSD Schemas for transfer of Model instances of DI and DD Metamodels

    Source: Tom Rutt (Fujitsu)

    Location: BPMN 2.0 Beta 1 ­ Annex B

    Summary of Issue:

    In the current BPMN 2 spec, Model instances of the BPMN2 Metamodel have two
    alternate forms for transfer:

    • XMI derived directly from the BPMN 2 Metamodel
    • Instances of the BPMN XSD schemas defined in BPMN 2 spec.

    The current Annex B of the Beta 1 BPMN 2 spec defines metamodels for Diagram
    Interchange (DI) and Diagram Definition (DD). However there are no BPMN XSD
    schemas defined for the DI and DD metamodels. Thus, it seems that XMI derived
    from these DI and DD metamodels currently the only normative way defined to
    transfer Model instances of these metamodels?

    The current plan is that this Annex B will be replaced with a reference to the
    adopted DI spec.

    Resolving issue involves the FTF answering two questions:

    1) Is there a need to define “custom” XSD schemas, not based on XMI, as an
    alternative for transfer of DI and DD model instances.
    2) If the answer to question 1 is yes, will these “custom” XSD schemas be
    defined by the BPMN 2 FTF, or the DI submitters?
