Intermediate Event
An intermediate event is something that occurs between the beginning and end of a process. Triggers can be “caught” or “thrown” by intermediate events. [1] Symbol 1] Silver, B. (2009).
End Event
An end event denotes the point at which a process’s path will come to an end. End events can only result in a “throw” of a result.[1] Symbol 1] Silver,
Start Event (Message)
A message is received from a participant, which initiates the process. The actual recipient of the message can be identified by connecting the event to a participant via a message
Intermediate Event (Message/Catching)
A message intermediate event can be used to both send and receive messages. When used to “catch” the message, the event marker must be left empty. If the process was
Intermediate Event (Message/Throwing)
A message intermediate event can be used to both send and receive messages. The event marker must be filled when used to “throw” the message (see the upper figure on
End Event (Message)
At the end of the process, this type of end indicates that a message is sent to a participant.[1] Symbol N Method and Style: A levels-based methodology for BPM process
Intermediate Event (Link/Catching)
Paired link events can also be used as “off-page connectors” in order to print a process across multiple pages. Within the process level, they can also be used as generic
Intermediate Event (Link/Throwing) Gateway
A gateway is a device that controls the divergence and convergence of sequence flows in a process or choreography. As a result, it will determine path branching, forking, merging, and
Gateway (Exclusive)
[XOR] When splitting, directs the sequence flow to one of the outgoing branches. When merging, it waits for one incoming branch to finish before starting the outgoing flow.[1] Symbol
Gateway (Parallel)
[And] When used to split the sequence flow, all outgoing branches are activated at the same time. When parallel branches are merged, it waits for all incoming branches to complete
Gateway (Inclusive)
[Or] When a branch splits, one or more branches are activated. Before merging, all active incoming branches must be completed.[1] Symbol 1] Silver, B. (2009). BPMN Method and Style: A
Sequence Flow (Normal or Uncontrolled)
A sequence flow is used to show the order in which activities in a process or choreography will be performed.[1] Symbol 1] Silver, B. (2009). BPMN Method and Style: A
Message Flow
A message flow depicts the exchange of messages between two participants who are ready to send and receive them. A message flow must connect two distinct pools. They are either
Association
An association is used to link data and artefacts to flow objects. Non-flow objects, such as text and graphics, can be associated with flow objects and flow.[1] Symbol [1] Silver,
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
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
lead appointed party
The term introduced by ISO 19650 typically describes the Tier 1 Main Contractor. For example: : The Lead Appointed Party is a specific entity directly appointed (employed) by the primary
risk register
means a risk register containing the risks associated with the timely delivery of information as may be identified in the Information Particulars and/or provided in accordance with the Information Standard.
model validation checklist
The example checklist consists of checks which assure quality within models and information, to eliminate errors and achieve desired project outcomes. Table 1 – Model Validation Checklist Check Definition Project

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
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
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]
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

Parametric behaviour
The parametric behaviour of an object describes whether its shape, position, and orientation are designed to be dependent on other information associated with the object or the context in which
Dimensionality
A dimension of space, such as width, height, or length. can be zero-dimensional (location point), one-dimensional (e.g. line, curve, path), two-dimensional (e.g. surface, face), or three-dimensional (e.g. surface, face) (e.g.
