Abstract
We propose the CIM-modelling language “VCLL”, which extends BPMN to four integrated modelling views. The designed modelling language allows for creating business processes and its relevant data, business rules and organisational aspects. The VCLL focuses on the development of business applications and provides two entry points into MDA. Our proposed modelling language can be used to describe the behaviour of one application (micro view) or it can be used to orchestrate different applications (macro view). Furthermore the VCLL provides a connection to a pre-CIM-level, which consists of unstructured information and reveals the relation of model elements with their origin in recorded interviews, forms, documents, etc.
