Two prevalent approaches to business modeling
BPMN: draw a process, irrespective of whether it's executable by a computer or not. 
Intrinsically, a diagramming method that cannot be converted into an executable program. 
BPEL: define an executable part of a business process, separate from the human parts. 
Intrinsically, a programming language for creating services that implement a business process.
