The Open Group OGA-031 ArchiMate 3 Part 1 Examination Exam Practice Test

The correct answer is D. Business event Claim Filed triggers a business process Accept Claim which in turn triggers an Assign Claim process. This is because the diagram shows a business event (Claim Filed) that initiates a business process (Accept Claim) which is performed by a business role (Customer Service Representative). The business process then triggers another business process (Assign Claim) which is also performed by the same business role. The diagram does not show any information flow or assignment relationships between the elements.

According to the ArchiMate® 3.2 Specification1, external active structure elements are also called interfaces. An interface represents a point of access where one or more services are offered by an active structure element to its environment1. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Interfaces.

Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, a communication network represents a set of structures that connects devices or system software for transmission, routing, and reception of data. A path models the relation between two or more technology internal active structure elements, through which these can exchange information. The diagram uses a flow relationship to indicate that data flows from server B to communication network E, then through path F to communication network I. The notation for a flow relationship is a dashed line with an open arrowhead at the end that points to the direction of the flow.

According to the ArchiMate language structure, a concept is either an element or a relationship. An element is either a behavior element, a structure element, a motivation element, or a composite element. A and B in the diagram correspond to these concepts respectively.

Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the generic metamodel defines two main types of elements: structure and behavior. Structure elements represent the structural concepts that model the static construction or composition of concepts of the same or different types. Behavior elements represent units of activity performed by one or more active structure elements.

According to the ArchiMate® 3.2 Specification1, a principle defines a general property that applies to any system in a certain context. A principle is a normative property of all systems in a given context that expresses a fundamental value or property1. Therefore, the correct answer is A. A principle.
