Specification Name: Business Motivation Model (BMM)
Description: The Business Motivation Model specification provides a scheme or structure for developing, communicating, and managing business plans in an organized manner. Specifically, the Business Motivation Model does all of the following: 

• It identifies factors that motivate the establishing of business plans.
• It identifies and defines the elements of business plans.
• It indicates how all these factors and elements inter-relate.

Among these elements are those that provide governance for and guidance to the business — Business Policies and Business Rules.

OMG Cross Reference: Business Modeling Specifications
 
Specification Name: Business Process Definition Metamodel (BPDM)
Description: BPDM provides the capability to represent and model business processes independent of notation or methodology, thus bringing these different approaches together into a cohesive capability. This is done using a "meta model"1 – a model of how to describe business processes – a kind of shared vocabulary of process with well defined connections between terms and concepts. This meta model captures the meaning behind the notations and technologies in a way that can help integrate them and leverage existing assets and new designs. The meta model behind BPDM uses the OMG "Meta Object Facility" (MOF) standard to capture business processes in this very general way and to provide an XML syntax for storing and transferring business process models between tools and infrastructures. Various tools, methods and technologies can then map their way to view, understand and implement processes to and through BPDM.
OMG Cross Reference: Business Modeling Specifications
 
Specification Name: Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM)
Description: BPMM is intended for anyone interested or involved in improving an organization's business process related to their products and services - whether the products and services are for internal or external use. This includes members of appraisal teams, members of process engineering groups, managers, and professional staff. BPMM can be used as a process model by itself or it can be used as a framework for improvement efforts based on other models.
OMG Cross Reference: Business Modeling Specifications
 
Specification Name: Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
Description: Business people are very comfortable with visualizing business processes in a flow-chart format. There are thousands of business analysts studying the way companies work and defining business processes with simple flow charts. This creates a technical gap between the format of the initial design of business processes and the format of the languages, such as BPEL4WS, that will execute these business processes. This gap needs to be bridged with a formal mechanism that maps the appropriate visualization of the business processes (a notation) to the appropriate execution format (a BPM execution language) for these business processes.

Interoperation of business processes at the human level, rather than the software engine level, can be solved with standardization of the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). BPMN provides a Business Process Diagram (BPD), which is a Diagram designed for use by the people who design and manage business processes. BPMN also provides a formal mapping to an execution language of BPM Systems (BPEL4WS). Thus, BPMN provides a standard visualization mechanism for business processes defined in an execution optimized business process language.

NOTE: The OMG specification begins with Version 1.1 as a previous 1.0 existed in industry.

Specification Name: Metamodel for the Federal Transition Framework (FTF)
Description: This specification is designed to move the evolution of the Federal Transition Framework into the general community of the OMG (industrial, governmental, and academic). The initial standard is therefore based on the existing release of the Federal Transition Framework released by the President’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB). A key aspect of this specification is to move the FTF specification’s primary representation from an XML Schema representation to a Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the FTF semantics from which the XML Schema is derived as a Platform Specific Model (PSM). This opens the evolution of the FTF to its expression in multiple technologies (PSMs) going forward

Description: The OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™) is a general-purpose graphical modeling language for specifying, analyzing, designing, and verifying complex systems that may include hardware, software, information, personnel, procedures, and facilities. In particular, the language provides graphical representations with a semantic foundation for modeling system requirements, behavior, structure, and parametrics, which is used to integrate with other engineering analysis models. SysML represents a subset of UML 2.0 with extensions needed to satisfy the requirements of the UML for Systems Engineering RFP. SysML uses the OMG XML Metadata Interchange (XMI®) to exchange modeling data between tools.
