Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Business_Finance/BPMN)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'Data Object'?

A. the concept, which is used in the definition of 
	attributes for all BPMN elements, and which extends the set of common 
	BPMN Element attributes (see Table B.2). Since a the concept is also a 
	BPMN element, a the concept can have Categories to create a hierarchical 
	structure of Categories.
B. A the concept is an activity performed within or across 
	companies or organizations. In BPMN a the concept is depicted as a graph of 
	Flow Objects, which are a set of other activities and the controls that
	sequence them. The concept of the concept is intrinsically hierarchical. 
	Processes may be defined at any level from enterprise-wide processes to
	processes performed by a single person. Low-level processes may be
	grouped together to achieve a common business goal. Note that BPMN 
	defines the term the concept fairly specifically and defines a Business 
	the concept more generically as a set of activities that are performed 
	within an organization or across organizations. Thus a Business the concept,
	as shown in a Business the concept Diagram, may contain more than one 
	separate the concept. Each the concept may have its own Sub-Processes and would
	be contained within a Pool (Section B.8.2, on page 260). The individual
	Processes would be independent in terms of Sequence Flow, but could have
	Message Flow connecting them.
C. Data Objects are considered Artifacts because they
	do not have any direct effect on the Sequence Flow or Message Flow of 
	the Process, but they do provide information about what activities 
	require to be performed and/or what they produce.
D. The TimeDateExpression supporting 
	element is a sub-type of the Expression Element (Expression on page 273)
	and uses all the attributes of the Expression Element.

Answer: Data Objects are considered Artifacts because they
	do not have any direct effect on the Sequence Flow or Message Flow of 
	the Process, but they do provide information about what activities 
	require to be performed and/or what they produce.
