Issue 14819: Cardinality of the "sourceRef" association between DataAssociation and ItemAwareElement (bpmn2-ftf)
Source: International Business Machines (Ms. Suzette Samoojh, ssamoojh(at)ca.ibm.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: See figure 10.61. The "sourceRef" assocation.


The cardinality on the DataAssociation end is 1. This tells me that any given DataAwareElement must be the source of exactly one DataAssociation.


This doesn't work:
- DataAwareElement are not required to participate in data associations.
- Data Objects can be the source of multiple data associations.

So the cardinality should be 0..n
Resolution: Replace Figure 10.61. See here in particular, the corrected cardinality (circled in red):
