Hi Bob,
Funny you should ask, I was just looking at the BPMN guide this morning. I like the process markers and think they could be pretty useful, especially if they are easily processed in standard ways. To me, the rectangles, and rectangles within rectangles and sample colors are too harsh.
RE: The list, I was wondering about a chart with Metric, Units, Standards, Data, System, Performance across the top
Then going down criteria for various BSP metrics - for example Healthy Office Building Index - see attached where the metrics are:
Indoor Air Quality
Light
Acoustics
Space
Productivity
Cost
Commute
Percent Open Data
This is one metric for one building type. Maybe your road problem with 17 points and 92 criteria can be a sample for 11 52 00 00 Transportation Routes.
11 13 11 31 Fire Station could be a sample for GEO/BIM awareness and so on.
Who has the data? What is being measured? What is ideal performance? In the end what are the units, this IAQ, at a cost per SF, increased productivity per Bureau of Labor Statistics, exchange standards per......
This basic layout could probably fit in BPMN - but what are the critical components and exchanges for SOA and BSP only?
Have a great day - Deborah

Hi Deborah,
You ask a great
question about BPMN, Service/Processes.
I see Finith's
book, BIG BIM little bim strongly supported by high level process modeling with
ability to drill down (or Refine) a process phase into sub-processes and
eventually into tasks or end-points.
Some tools are
out there that read and write OWL. And deal with WSDL and BPEL-BPMN exchange as
well.
This could be
another useful area to explore in the near future.
Have you used
this BPMN approach at work?
Thanks,
Bob
Does the.....high level
concept of Activity (which we believe to be substantially the same as the BPMN
concept) with concepts of Service and also of Architecture.
Have relevance to BSP? If so, does anyone have any comments? Just FYI, even
though of course the aim is to work with NBIMS, OBIX, Fiatech, OGC -
everything...the BPMN guidelines for NBIMS are attached for reference.

FYI.
From Chris Harding of The Open Group:
For some time now, The Open Group has been developing a formal
ontology for SOA. We made an early version available for comment by
OMG members over a year ago - indeed, I came to one of your meetings
at the end of 2006 and presented our then-current draft. We have now
reached the stage where we believe that it is almost complete, and
are exposing it to outside bodies for review and comment prior to
its final review within The Open Group.
The ontology is a formal OWL ontology, but the draft also includes
extensive heuristic explanations of its concepts. It should be of
particular interest to the OMG, firstly because of its relevance to
Model-Driven Architecture, and also because it relates, at a high
level, a concept of Activity (which we believe to be substantially
the same as the BPMN concept) with concepts of Service and also of
Architecture.
The draft is publicly available at
http://www.opengroup.org/projects/soa-ontology/doc.tpl?gdid=16940
We would very much appreciate input from OMG members, and will
address comments received at this stage before creating the draft
for final Open Group review. [OMG is invited] to review the draft
and send comments to [Chris].
