Mapping the BPM-Notation on a
SDWH layered architecture
Discussion on Vision
in sub groups
business architecture – BPM Notation
 For the operational analytical activities we have used the Business Process Model
Notation (BPMN), in a simplified version, in which only four descriptor objects are
used, they are:
 activity object describes the actor and the sub –
Actor
process which must be realized.
A: sub-process
which must be done
 sequence flow object shows in which order the
activities are performed;
 association object is used to associate objects, and can
indicate some directionality using an open arrowhead,
toward the object to represent a result, from the object
to represent an input, and both to indicate it is read and
updated;
 data objects (represented with a rhombus) show the
reader which data is required or produced in an activity.

BPM Analysis: Structural Business Statistics SBS
1th Group
 The Structural Business Statistics SBS cover industry, construction, trade and
services. Presented according to the Statistical Classification of Economy Activity in
the European Union (NACE 2) activity classification, they describe the structure,
conduct and performance of businesses.

 Generally SBS does not collect information on products. The external trade and the
production of specific products are covered by Prodcom and external trade statistics.

BPM Analysis: External Trade statistics ET
2th Group
 The External Trade statistics track the value and quantity of goods traded between
EU Member States (intra-EU trade) and between Member States and non-EU
countries (extra-EU trade).
 They are the official source of information on imports, exports and trade balance of
the EU, its Member States and the euro area.
 We will make a top-down analysis of the two ET measures, independently from the
products. These measures are related to other statistical production lines considered:

BPM Analysis: Short-term statistics (STS)
3th Group
Short-term statistics (STS) describe the most recent developments of country
economies. STS cover four major economic domains: industry, construction, retail
trade and other services.
 In the field of STS, the development in the different economic domains is described
with a series of indicators (STS indicators) such as production, turnover, new orders
received, prices, number of persons employed, gross wages and several more. STS
indicators are published as indices which show the changes of the indicator in
comparison with a fixed reference year.
 STS indicators are generally published with a monthly frequency. These measures
are related to other statistical production lines considered:

BPM Analysis: Statistical Business Register (SBR)
4th Group
 The Statistical Business Register is a register of all enterprises as well as their
workplaces. The availability of Statistical BRs is the key to the compilation of
consistent and comparable short-term and structural business statistics.
 SBRs are crucial for establishing efficient statistical survey frames which aim to
reduce the reporting burden on enterprises.
 We will make a top-down analysis from two significant BR values, which even if
they are not objects of direct statistical output at Estat level, have an important
impact on economic-stratification characteristics for STS and SBS:

Mapping the BPM-Notation on a SDWH layerd architecture
 To this aim, it will be used a graphical mapping of GSBPM on a SDWH layered
architecture, where:
 GSBPM phases are on horizontal axe on different columns
 SDWH layers are on vertical axe on different rows
 they cross produce a cell-matrix representation of possible subprocesses.
 gray diagonal represents, in a generic statistical process, the most
probable association area between SDWH-layers and GSBPM phases.
 To include a sub-process in a process flow we fill a cell-matrix with a
circle and connect subsequent sub-processes.
CAWI
 As on BPMN, rhombus are representing data objects and must be
positioned at layer level.
 In order to identify actor of each sub-process we fill each circle with
several color. The different actors will be referenced on a separated
legend with the associated color.
