TMG
Business Process Working Group (BPWG)

The Business Process Working Group (BPWG) provides techniques and methodologies for the description of inter-organizational business processes and the resulting information exchanges.

Currently the following TMG projects are hosted by the BPWG:

UMM Base- and Foundation Module (UMM Modelling Language)
The UMM Base- and Foundation Modules define a modelling language for inter-organizational business processes and the resulting information exchanges between organizations based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML). Further information can be found in the project area. 

UMM User Guide
The UMM User Guide is a step-by-step guide of how to use the UMM Modelling Language as defined in the UMM Base- und Foundation Modules. Further information can be found in the project area.

UML-Profile for Core Components (BCSS)
The BCSS project defines a concept to model Core Components based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The main deliverable of the project will be a formal UML-Profile that can be used with existing UML-tools to model and exchange information models which conform to the Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS). Since the UMM is also based on UML the work of the BCSS project is an important further step to closely align CCTS and UMM. Further information can be found in the project area.

BPSS
The ebXML Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS) technical specification defines a XML-based standard language by which business systems may be configured to support the execution of inter-organizational business processes. The BPSS concepts are closely aligned with the UMM and can be generated from UMM artefacts. Further information can be found in the project area.

UBAC
The goal of the UBAC project is to provide concepts to enrich inter-organizational business processes based on UMM with further contractual and legal semantics. Further information can be found in the project area.
