Document Summary
Sub-processes can be used to show processes that are reused in several other processes. When modeler doesn"t want to add unnecessary detail to a diagram. The two main bpmn elements used to model data are the data object and datastore. Time passes until the date of concert and actor attends using the ticket. The first alternative seems to make more sense, since its clear that one ticket data object is created and then used. If it"s necessary for other processes to access the stored ticket information, then tickets should be modeled as a datastore. Is to describe the important steps in a business process clearly, concisely, and accurately. Data flow diagrams (dfd) encompass elements of both activity and structure models, but they are primarily used to depict the sequence of data flows related to activities in a business process. Data flow diagrams do not have start, end, or intermediate event symbols.
