The existing site on the Kanji project had a lot of complex customizations and above all it was in Drupal 6, using Ubercart.

All three were used to augment and describe BPMN processes. Annotations allow modeler to describe the additional flow parts of a model/notation. Groups organize tasks/processes that have significance in the overall process.
