Data Object 

Type - Term
Description: A Data Object contains additional information on an OV-6c, which does not have any direct effect on the Sequence Flow or Message Flow but does show the data that may be passed, created, or consumed by the BPM Process. Data Objects are a mechanism to show how data is required or produced by process steps. A Data Object is considered an artifact because it does not have a direct effect on the Sequence or Message flow of the Process.
