== Introduction ==

Business process modeling, the activity of recording and representing the processes of an enterprise, is an important part of information modeling, which is the recording and depiction of the persistent and future arrangement of information assets of an organization in a structured or formal manner.

Information modeling is often incorrectly understood to be concerned only with data modeling. In reality, information modeling is composed of not only data modeling but also other aspects such as process modeling as well as value- or service-oriented modeling. The resulting information models, cover- ing the strategic, tactical, and operational tier, can ultimately form a single integrated enterprise information model (see Figure 1). The message of this figure is that there must be integration of the strategic, tactical, and operating information models as well as inte- gration into all phases of the business process life cycle.

The information models and the record of their content fulfill the purpose of mapping not only the dynamic aspects of the business processes and data flows within an organization, but also the static characteristics of the information space on which the dynamic (time-dependent) aspects build. The purpose of these models is varied; among other things, they provide a record of the information assets of the enterprise, the idea of creating a shared understanding of the business, and thus are important in problem solving and executing change.

Business process modeling tools should be used to depict current business processes (“as-is” modeling) as well as to develop the design of the new business process blueprint (“to-be” modeling). Interlinking the business and application layers and their information meta objects can be organized and their content represented using a range of current information modeling techniques. These models apply concepts already discussed in the Extended Business Process Model and Notation (xBPMN) in Chapter3, event-driven process chain (EPC), Unified Modeling Language (UML), information engineering (IE), and entity-relationship (ER) modeling, among others.
