问题
I have a system prototype, which I want to model in BPMN. That system has three layers: data layer, gui and business logic. Can I use these three layers names as BPMN swimlanes names instead of using actors or roles?
http://blog.goodelearning.com/bpmn/common-bpmn-modeling-mistakes-swimlanes/ Says swimlanes are for an organizational role (e.g. developer, analyst and manager).
回答1:
As far as I understand it, the blog entry does not state that organizational roles cannot be IT systems. It even mentions content management system as one example for an organization (when discussing pools). Subsequently, a sub system of the content management system should be a perfectly valid candidate for a lane.
When it comes to technicalities, it's always good to refer to the BPMN specification. Regarding the usage of lanes, it states:
The meaning of the Lanes is up to the modeler. BPMN does not specify the usage of Lanes. (page 306, respectively 336 in PDF document)
So according to the specification, you can use these three layer names as BPMN swimlane names.
