Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: It seems a bit odd that a Sequence Flow is not a Flow Object as its name would appear otherwise: actually the term Flow Object is probably the one that misleads
Resolution: Close, No Change: Sequence Flow is listed as a Connecting Object, which should be considered a
logical categorization. Given that, the use of Flow Objects for those that are connected by
Sequence Flow also appears logical. However, a surface view of the terms might be somewhat
confusing. However, there would be a large impact on the specification and general understanding
of the practitioners of BPMN if the terminology was changed. Thus, this issue is out of scope for the
RTF and may be addressed by the response to the BPMN 2.0 RFP.
