Stores are places for storing information or material. These model elements can be used to model the interfaces between the process and information or material stores. A store has the following properties:

 name

 description

 store type (information or material)

 diagram(s) the store is in

 incoming connectors

 outgoing connectors

An information store can be, for example, a data warehouse, database or information system. Incoming connectors specify the information or material put into the store while the outgoing connectors indicate the information or material fetched from the store.
