A goal describes the expected state of operation in a business enterprise and it can be linked to whole process model or to a process model fragment with each level activity in a process model can be considered as a goal.<ref name =eeml1 />

Goals are related in a hierarchical format where you find some goals are dependent on other sub goals for them to be complete which means all the sub goals must be achieved for the main goal to be achieved. There is other goals where only one of the goals need to be fulfilled for the main goal to be achieved. In goal modeling, there is use of deontic operator which falls in between the context and achieved state.<ref name=emml2>J.

==Resource modeling==

Resources have specific roles during the execution of various processes in an organisation. The following icons represent the various resources required in modeling.

The relations of these resources can be of different types:

:a. Is Filled By - -this is the assignment relation between roles and resources. It has a cardinality of one-to-many relationship.

:b. Is Candidate For – candidate indicates the possible filling of the role by a resource.

a. Is Filled By - -this is the assignment relation between roles and resources. It has a cardinality of one-to-many relationship.

:c. Has Member – this is a kind of relations between organization and person by denoting that a certain person has membership in the organization. Has a cardinality of many-to-many relation.

:d. Provide Support To – support pattern between resources and roles.

b. Is Candidate For – candidate indicates the possible filling of the role by a resource.

:e. Communicates With – Communication pattern between resources and roles.

:f. Has Supervision Over – shows which role resource supervises another role or resource.

c. Has Member – this is a kind of relations between organization and person by denoting that a certain person has membership in the organization. Has a cardinality of many-to-many relation.

:g. Is Rating Of – describes the relation between skill and a person or organization.

:h. Is required By – this is the primary skill required for this role

d. Provide Support To – support pattern between resources and roles.

:i. Has Access to – creating of models with the access rights.

e. Communicates With – Communication pattern between resources and roles.

f. Has Supervision Over – shows which role resource supervises another role or resource.

g. Is Rating Of – describes the relation between skill and a person or organization.

h. Is required By – this is the primary skill required for this role

i. Has Access to – creating of models with the access rights.
