Abstract
The growing need of interoperability within and across distributed systems has fuelled the necessity of taking into consideration service-orientation and open standards adoption. We mainly explain through a case of implementing digital identity-related privacy that BPMN description and SoaML service design complement one another to promote business-technology alignment. Both provide a technology-neutral representation of services and processes allowing easy understanding and validation by project's stakeholders. In addition, we demonstrate that digital identity-related privacy is a set of requirements should be taken into consideration from the beginning of the system's implementation effort. We explain and illustrate that SoaML diagrams enable to identify and specify a set of ready-to-use, granular and loosely coupled services that could host a service-oriented architecture. However, we highlight that BPMN processes view enables to detail requirements and describe the consumption/execution of that services.
