Issue 19771: Contradiction - can or cannot show Data Object multiple times on a diagram (bpmn2-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: p.206 states:


Visual representations of Data Objects
Data Object can appear multiple times in a Process diagram. Each of these appearances references the same Data Object instance. Multiple occurrences of a Data Object in a diagram are allowed to simplify diagram connections.



p.368 states:


Multiple depictions of a specific BPMN element in a single diagram is NOT allowed, except for Participants in a choreography (i.e., Participant Bands). For example, it is not allowed to depict a Task twice in the same diagram, but it is allowed to depict the same Task in two different diagrams.


This seems like a contradiction. Only one of the above should be true.
