Linked.Archi BPMN Lite Metamodel Definition
Metamodel manifest for BPMN Lite — a simplified BPMN profile for enterprise architecture reasoning. Covers the EA-relevant subset of BPMN 2.0.2: processes, tasks, events, gateways, participants, data objects, and message flows. Choose BPMN Lite when: • The goal is cross-model reasoning (BPMN ↔ ArchiMate ↔ C4), not BPMN execution. • You want a "thin lift" — only constructs with EA-level semantic value. • Layout and notation detail stays in the original .bpmn file, referenced by URI. Choose the full BPMN 2.0.2 suite (modelingLanguages/bpmn/) when: • You need full spec fidelity (144 classes, diagram interchange, correlation). • You are building BPMN tooling, round-tripping, or execution engines. • You need SHACL validation against the complete BPMN metamodel.
