Data Association
A data association is used to move data between data objects, properties, and activity and process inputs and outputs. The association connector style can be used to visually represent data associations in the diagram.[1] 09).

Pool
A pool is a graphical representation of a collaboration participant. A pool serves as a container for the sequence flows that occur between activities (of a contained process). The sequence flows can cross the boundaries of a pool between lanes but not across the entire pool. In other words, a process is completely contained within […]
Lane
A lane is a sub-partition within a process (often within a pool) that runs the length of the process level, either vertically or horizontally. Lanes are frequently used for internal roles (e.g., manager, associate), systems (e.g., an enterprise application), internal departments (e.g., shipping, finance), and so on.[1] Symbol Silver, B. (2009). BPMN Method and […]
Data Object
Data objects provide information about the activities that must be performed and/or the results that they produce. Elements of data objects must be contained within process or sub-process elements. Data objects are unable to specify states.[1] Symbol [1] Silver, B. (2009). BPMN Method and Style: A levels-based methodology for BPM process modeling and improvement using […]
Group
Because a group is not an activity or a flow object, it cannot connect to sequence or message flows. Furthermore, groups are not constrained by pool and lane restrictions. [1] Symbol (2009).

Text Annotation
Text annotations are a way for a modeller to provide additional information to a BPMN diagram reader. The text annotation object can be associated with a specific object on the diagram, but this has no effect on the process flow.[1] Symbol 1] Silver, B. (2009).
