DMN13 — Improvement of Semantic Domains Specification

The definition of Semantic Domains / Types in 10.3.2 does not contain:

• a metamodel
• relationships between various types

I propose adding a metamodel and the following two relationship:

1. Conforms To
A semantic domain T1 conforms to a semantic domain T2 when an instance of T1 can be substituted at each place where an instance of T2 is expected.

2. Equivalent To
A semantic domain T1 is equivalent to a domain T2 iff they have the same name and the corresponding embedded semantic domains are equivalent. (e.g. List<Number> is equivalent only to List<Number> not List <String>).

The above relationships should be defined via tables, similar to the ones used to describe the semantics of logic operators (page 119 Table 38).

RTF 1.3 is ending

Thank you for reporting the issue; it is likely valid but unfortunately the DMN 1.3 revision task force ran out of time before a member was able to resolve it. The issue will be deferred to the next revision task force.
