Congratulations Marek!
Thank you Tomasz for your kind words 🙂
I have very much enjoyed helping to develop this important standard with Tomasz, Peter and many others who have contributed over the last couple of years.
Best wishes to you all!

I’m comfortable with “For this reason, a set of BPMNs is just a useful set of ideas that enable us now to have a more focused discussion on requirements for the model.”
We just need to be careful to remember that the processes which will produce and/or consume our mDMPs will be heterogeneous and unpredictable!
Cheers,
Paul

I’m not sure that i agree with expanding the scope of this activity to include developing a standard for describing business processes relating to DMPs. We can make a real difference if we focus on our mission to establish a standard data interchange.
I think you are right to emphasise the importance of understanding the business processes which will use mDMPs, but I think we should stop short of trying to model these formally with something like BPMN. It is too soon to be able to predict with any confidence precisely how mDMPs will be used and we should, in my opinion, avoid over-engineering a solution at this stage. Rather, we should be aiming for improving broad interoperability, and for maintaining flexibility & future extensibility.
Cheers,
Paul
