创建可视化模型查询语言（VMQL）的目的是：(1)使建模者更容易有效地查询模型，(2)普遍适用于所有建模语言。在之前的工作中，我们已经将VMQL应用于UML，并验证了这两个声明中的第一个。在本文中，我们将VMQL应用于业务流程建模符号（BPMN）来评估第二个声明。我们将探讨所需的适应性，并在此上下文中重新评估VMQL的可用性。我们发现了与早期工作相似的结果，因此既支持了我们的主张，又在UML领域之外建立了VMQL的可用性。
The Visual Model Query Language (VMQL) has been invented with the objectives (1) to make it easier for modelers to query models effectively, and (2) to be universally applicable to all modeling languages. In previous work, we have applied VMQL to UML, and validated the first of these two claims. In this paper, we apply VMQL to the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) to evaluate the second claim. We explore the adaptations required, and re-evaluate the usability of VMQL in this context. We find similar results to earlier work, thus both supporting our claims and establishing the usability of VMQL beyond the realm of UML.
