Issue 15101: Integrate temporal and token semantics (bpmn2-rtf)
Source: Agile Enterprise Design (Mr. Fred A. Cummins, fred.a.cummins(at)gmail.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: BPMN uses temporal semantics currently in process abstraction, and token flow in process execution.  It isn't currently clear which semantics should be used for what purposes, or if they are compatible. Temporal semantics should be highlighted as one of the semantics for sequence flow, especially in conjunction with definitional collaborations, and it should be related to the token semantics.
Resolution: 
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
March 1, 2010: received issue
Discussion: 
This can be addressed in an RTF by clarifying the relationship between
temporal and token semantics.
Disposition: Deferred

Description:

BPMN uses temporal semantics currently in process abstraction, and token flow in process execution.  It isn't currently clear which semantics should be used for what purposes, or if they are compatible. Temporal semantics should be highlighted as one of the semantics for sequence flow, especially in conjunction with definitional collaborations, and it should be related to the token semantics.
