Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD)

The business processes modeling (BPM) flowchart sample "Event-driven process chain (EPC) diagram" was created on the base of illustration from "Methods for the specification and verification of business processes. 19 - Event-driven process chains. Roberto Bruni. 2011".
"An Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) is a
particular type of flow-chart that can be used for configuring an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation.
Supported by many tools (e.g. SAP R/ 3).
EPC Markup Language available (EPML)
as interchange format. ...
EPC overview.
Important notation to model the domain aspects of business processes.
Rather informal notation.
EPC focus is on representing domain concepts and processes (not their formal aspects and technical realization).
It can be used to drive the modeling, analysis and redesign of business process." [cli.di.unipi.it/ ~rbruni/ MPB-12/ 19-EPC.pdf]
The event-driven process chain (EPC) diagram example was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Event-driven Process Chain Diagrams solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This purchase order processing UML activity diagram was created on the base of activity diagram from the software architecture documentation wiki of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

"A purchase order (PO) is a commercial document and first official offer issued by a buyer to a seller, indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. Acceptance of a purchase order by a seller forms a contract between the buyer and seller, so no contract exists until the purchase order is accepted. It is used to control the purchasing of products and services from external suppliers.
Creating a purchase order is typically the first step of the purchase to pay process in an ERP system." [Purchase order. Wikipedia]

"Chen's notation for entity–relationship modeling uses rectangles to represent entity sets, and diamonds to represent relationships appropriate for first-class objects: they can have attributes and relationships of their own. If an entity set participates in a relationship set, they are connected with a line.
Attributes are drawn as ovals and are connected with a line to exactly one entity or relationship set.
Cardinality constraints are expressed as follows:
- a double line indicates a participation constraint, totality or surjectivity: all entities in the entity set must participate in at least one relationship in the relationship set;
- an arrow from entity set to relationship set indicates a key constraint, i.e. injectivity: each entity of the entity set can participate in at most one relationship in the relationship set;
- a thick line indicates both, i.e. bijectivity: each entity in the entity set is involved in exactly one relationship.
- an underlined name of an attribute indicates that it is a key: two different entities or relationships with this attribute always have different values for this attribute.
Attributes are often omitted as they can clutter up a diagram; other diagram techniques often list entity attributes within the rectangles drawn for entity sets." [Entity–relationship model. Wikipedia]
The vector stencils library ERD, Chen's notation contains 13 symbols for drawing entity-relatinship diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The example "Design elements - ER diagram (Chen notation)" is included in the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"An Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) is a type of flowchart used for business process modelling. Event-driven Process Chains can be used for configuring an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation, and for business process improvement. ...
Businesses use Event-driven Process Chain diagrams to lay out business process work flows, originally in conjunction with SAP R/ 3 modeling, but now more widely. It is used by many companies for modeling, analyzing, and redesigning business processes. The Event-driven Process Chain method was developed within the framework of Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS). As such it forms the core technique for modeling in ARIS, which serves to link the different views in the so-called control view." [Event-driven process chain. Wikipedia]

"Microsoft SharePoint is a Web application platform developed by Microsoft. First launched in 2001, SharePoint has historically been associated with intranet, content management and document management, but recent versions have significantly broader capabilities.
SharePoint comprises a multipurpose set of Web technologies backed by a common technical infrastructure. By default, SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite. The web tools are designed to be usable by non-technical users. SharePoint can be used to provide intranet portals, document & file management, collaboration, social networks, extranets, websites, enterprise search, and business intelligence. It also has system integration, process integration, and workflow automation capabilities.
Enterprise application software (e.g. ERP or CRM packages) often provide some SharePoint integration capability, and SharePoint also incorporates a complete development stack based on web technologies and standards-based APIs. As an application platform, SharePoint provides central management, governance, and security controls for implementation of these requirements. The SharePoint platform integrates directly into IIS - enabling bulk management, scaling, and provisioning of servers, as is often required by large organizations or cloud hosting providers."
