Querying Business Processes

Summary: BP-QL is a novel query language for business processes, built on a formal process model and an XML/Web services aware abstraction of BPEL. It supports visual, distributed querying across heterogeneous process components, and presents a practical, standards compliant BP-QL implementation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
