Events

An event from a BPMN diagram is transformed into an Activity element in XPDL. A subordinate element of the Event type is created in the Activity element. This Event element contains elements of the StartEvent, IntermediateEvent, or EndEvent type, depending on which element is used in the BPMN diagram.

An attribute of the Trigger type is defined for elements of the StartEvent and IntermediateEvent types, while an attribute of the Result type is defined for an element of the EndEvent type. The values of the Trigger and Result attributes depend on the symbol used for an event in ARIS.

Graphical information from ARIS, such as size, position, or color, is transformed into an element of the NodeGraphicsInfo type of the activity in XPDL.
