Despite the fact that business process (BP) modeling has its long-lasting traditions in various areas of application, this discipline remains in the constant process of improvement and issue-solving. The possibilities of synergy among business process models and business vocabularies and rules are analyzed in this paper. We emphasize the existing gap between business process modeling and specification of business vocabularies and rules. Such a situation may lead to misunderstandings while reading and interpreting business models and also miscommunication issues within and among the organizations. Some of these issues could be resolved by realizing the integration of BP modeling standards with business vocabularies and rules. The paper presents some argumentation to back such statements. Later, basic principles of the approach for BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) Business process model integration with SBVR (Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules) business vocabulary & rules are presented and briefly described in this paper.
