Note

A Pool is the graphical representation of a participant in a collaboration. A participant can be a specific PartnerEntity (e.g., a company) or can be a more general PartnerRole (e.g., a buyer, seller, or manufacturer). A pool may or may not reference a process. A pool is not required to contain a Process, i.e., it can be a “black box.”
