'''Business Process Modeling Language''' ('''BPML''') is a [[XML]]-based language for [[business process modeling]].
It was maintained by the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) until June 2005 when BPMI and OMG ([[Object Management Group]]) announced the merger of their respective Business Process Management (BPM) activities to form the ''Business Modeling and Integration Domain Task Force'' (BMI DTF)[http://www.omg.org/bpmn/]. It is deprecated since 2008.
BPML was useful to [[Object Management Group|OMG]] in order to enrich [[Unified Modeling Language|UML]] with process notation{{RefneededCitation needed|date=January 2017}}.
 
== History ==
BPML, a superset of [[BPEL]], was implemented by early stage vendors, such as Intalio Inc., but incumbents such as IBM and Microsoft did not implement BPML in their existing workflow and integration engine implementations like ''BizTalk'' or ''Websphere''. They pushed for the simpler language BPEL.
 
In view of the lack of market acceptance, the BPMI dropped support of BPML in favor of BPEL4WS.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Havey|first1=Michael|title=Essential Business Process Modeling|date=August 2005|publisher=O'Reilly Media|isbn=978-0-596-00843-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RFBHCaMtlfIC&pg=PA145&lpg=PA145&dq=%22BPML%22+%22BPMI%22&source=bl&ots=wXbKP-lYF1&sig=7W96SdJ19LZTHubAfj-egjQH1JY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiAjpHy4cTRAhXIHxoKHQKzDkAQ6AEITjAI#v=onepage&q=%22BPML%22%20%22BPMI%22&f=false|accessdate=15 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Gur|first1=N.|title=BPMN, BPEL, BPML and XPDL, an attempt to make some order in the business modeling jungle|url=https://blogs.sap.com/2007/01/03/bpmn-bpel-bpml-and-xpdl-an-attempt-to-make-some-order-in-the-business-modeling-jungle/|website=blogs.sap.com|accessdate=15 January 2017}}</ref>.
Following the merger of BPMI and OMG, BPML will be definitively deprecated in 2008, with OMG's adoption of [[BPDM]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Dice|title=BPML|url=https://www.dice.com/skills/BPML.html|website=dice.com|accessdate=15 January 2017}}</ref>.
