BPEL,XPDL,BPMN are some of the frequently used terms when talking of process enablement in SOA

Developing a new business application entirely based on these  open standards should be a straight forward one. But what it takes convert a existing business process built on proprietary standards is very challenging.le

Recently I worked on a migration approach to migrate proprietary process models from Savvion to Oracle BPMS (Oracle Process manager,Oracle BPA).

As an architect my role was first evaluate if there  exists any component which can be reused in this approach, to my surprise, It shaped up as more of a new development of those process models. Ideally there should exist a definite approach laid down( surely not by the proprietary vendors, but the open standards group) to ease this process of open source adoption.

I would like to know , Is there exists any standard approach for the BPEL migration from native models?.
