The BPMN 2.0 for modeling collaborative business processes is already a decade old, and it has gained considerable attention from researchers and practitioners with respect to its benefits and drawbacks. The impossibility of modeling data flows properly (input and output data combinations of activities shown only as comments and data associations used instead of data flows) as well as problems with reflecting activities which are executed by several actors, are among the often-mentioned limitations of the BPMN 2.0. Some business process modeling languages and tools that existed before the BPMN, however, did provide solutions to the above-mentioned limitations. It might be beneficial to consider these solutions in the development of the next versions or dedicated extensions of the BPMN.
