BPEL has been established as the standard for modeling business
processes by orchestratingWeb services. When modeling a BPEL
process, users end up in basically three approaches: from scratch,
by using a process template or a reference process, and by ad hoc
modifying a existing process model to meet the current requirements.
There is strong demand on a flexible and modularized approach for
reusing BPEL process models. As neither the BPEL standard nor the
current BPEL extensions support such a feature for reuse, we present
in this paper a formal definition for BPEL fragments. In this paper
we first study the related work on process fragments and distinguish
BPEL fragments from existing reuse approaches in service-oriented
process modeling. Based on the requirement analysis we present a
definition of BPEL fragments in XML schema. By adopting our
definition of BPEL fragments, the flexibility of modularized reuse
of BPEL process models can be significantly increased.
