Decision Modeling and Notation 1.2 RTF — Open Issues - OMG Issue Tracker

Key: DMN12-38

Status: closed

Source: Decision Management Solutions ( James Taylor [X] (Inactive))

Summary:

Because Decisions, Knowledge Sources, Input Data and BKMs can appear on many diagrams they may have requirements that are not shown on a given diagram. While this is a powerful feature it can be confusing if it is not clear to a user that such links exist but are not displayed. This could be left a a tooling issue but on balance some notation (an ellipsis for instance) that was common woudl probably be more useful.

In spite of the attached figures (meant to provoke discussion), the scope of this issue is limited to "flat" DRDs, that is, no "sub-DRDs" nested inside an outer decision or BKM.
