The NOV-6c metamodel can be divided into two parts: a process description and a specific scenario where generic roles are instantiated.

The process metamodel is similar to the NOV-5 metamodel. NOV-6c is BPMN-compliant, however, for this view participants are assigned to org-units and human assets (org-units defined within the context of a resource architecture).

Another alternative for the event-trace description is the operational interaction scenario that allows the creation of operational node instances (or more accurately operational components) and message instances.

Interaction scenarios describe examples of processes through the interaction scenario performances that link functional processes to operational nodes.
