Spring is here - time to approve standards...

In a relatively short period of time, I have seen important approvals of standards, related to BPM... BPM is on the move.

1. BPDM seems to be approved
See: http://www.modeldriven.org/web/bpdm
Still unsure how BPDM and XPDL are related. Will need to research this. Comments welcome.

2. BPMM
The business process maturity model (with a foundation of CMMi)
Also see: http://www.omg.org/docs/bmi/07-03-04.pdf

Very handy as reasonably objective framework for measurement and improvement planning.

3. BPEL 2.0
The business process execution language, version 2.0
Also see: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsbpel
and... http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23665/wsbpel-v2.0-OS.htm

I have not checked BPEL 2.0 yet, but do hope it has now capabilities for human workflow as well....Anyone knows?
