Is there a mapping diagram between BPMN and YAWL elements, or an overview to compare the two languages?
Is there a way to map YAWL elements that are not found in BPMN and vice versa?
Question:
Is there an overview or mapping diagram showing which language elements in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) map onto each other or to a construct in YAWL, and which are unique to either BPMN or YAWL? Additionally, is there a way to map elements that are not found in either language?
Answer:
Yes, there are several resources available for mapping BPMN and YAWL elements. One such resource is the paper “Comparing Workflow Petri Nets and BPMN: A Case Study” by J. Mendling and G. Neumann, which includes a mapping diagram. Another resource is the website “BPMN vs YAWL - A Comparison” by A. ter Hofstede, which provides an overview of the similarities and differences between the two languages.
As for mapping elements that are not found in either language, this would require a more in-depth analysis of the two languages and their capabilities. However, it is generally possible to represent any workflow or business process using a combination of the available elements in BPMN and YAWL.
