## B.1 Scope


This annex provides documentation for a relevant subset of an alpha version of a Diagram Definition (DD) specification that is being referenced by this International Standard (in Clause 13 - BPMN DI). The (complete version of the) DD specification is still going through a separate submission/approval process and once finalized and adopted, a future revision of this specification may replace this annex by a reference to that adopted DD specification. The Diagram Definition specification provides a basis for modeling and interchanging graphical notations, specifically node and edge style diagrams as found in BPMN, UML and SysML, for example, where the notations are tied to abstract language syntaxes defined with MOF. The specification addresses the requirements in the Diagram Definition RFP (ad/ 2007-09-02).
