HOPEX/BPMN object correspondence
The BPMN export feature translates a BPMN element specification in HOPEX into a BPMN-compliant output file. It is based on a set of mappings between the HOPEX BPMN Process metamodel (including diagrams) and BPMN version 2.0.
Conventions
HOPEX concept names start with an uppercase. Example: Task.
BPMN elements are delimited by <..>.
BPMN attributes are prefixed by ::.
BPMN concepts relate to the following OMG Specification document: “Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), formal/2011-01-03”.
Object correspondences
The following table indicates concepts managed by the export tool:
