Typos in meta model

Precision on Allowed Values UnaryTests

  • Key: DMN15-135
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Denis Gagne)
  • Summary:

    DMN ItemDefinitions metamodel (section 7.3.3) specifies that and ItemDefinition can restrict its typeRef by using an allowedValues attribute that is defined as a UnaryTests:

    An ItemDefinition element may restrict the values that are allowed from typeRef, using the allowedValues attribute. The allowedValues are an instance of unaryTests that specifies the allowed values or ranges of allowed values within the domain of the typeRef. The type of the allowed values SHALL be consistent with the containing ItemDefinition element. If an ItemDefinition element contains one or more allowedValues, the allowedValues specifies the complete range of values that this ItemDefinition represents. If an ItemDefinition element does not contain allowedValues, its range of allowed values is the full range of the referenced typeRef. In cases where the values that an ItemDefinition element represents are collections of values in the allowed range, the multiplicity can be projected into the attribute isCollection. The default value for this attribute is false.

    This paragraph has a few contradictions with the spec:

    • The last phrase is not clear about which attribute defaults to false, this whole paragraph talks about allowedValues and the intention must be that it refers to isCollection but that certainly confused us.
    • The attribute allowedValues is a UnaryTests but its usage is not consistent with its usage in decision tables inputEntry. A UnaryTests is defined as an expression that evaluates to a boolean with an implicit argument to be tested (from its definition in section 7.3.2). However, this is not the way it is used here. Here it defines a range/enumeration of allowedValues and not an expression that is evaluated with an implicit argument.
      Our proposal would be to align the usage of UnaryTests with decision table inputs.
      This would allow extended use cases such as:
    •  A validation of an email address domain: allowedValues => ends with(?, “@trisotech.com”) 
    •  Validation that depends on sibling variables values: allowedValues => if OrderType = “Type A” then [“a”,”b”,”c”] else [“c”, “d”, “e”] 
    •  Or something even simpler like not null: allowedValues => ? != null 
    •  Length check on strings: allowedValues => string length(?) > 10
  • Reported: DMN 1.4b1 — Fri, 2 Dec 2022 14:13 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — DMN 1.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    Align the usage of UnaryTests with decision table inputs

    Align the usage of UnaryTests with decision table inputs

    UnaryTests and FEEL have become so powerful that the projection of allowedValues onto collection elements is not required any more.

    XSD and Meta Model change on Figure 7-7: ItemDefintion class diagram, add a composition between ItemDefinition and UnaryTests with the cardinality 0..1 on both sides named typeConstraint. (same as allowedValues): https://github.com/omg-dmn-taskforce/omg-dmn-spec/pull/27/files

spec places unrealistic constraints on decision expressions and BKM parameter bindings

  • Key: DMN15-65
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Montera Pty Ltd ( Greg McCreath)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.1 specifies that under certain circumstances relating to BKMs a decision must have a literal expression, and BKM parameter bindings relate to decision inputs. For example:

    "If a decision element requires more than one business knowledge element, its value expression must be a literal expression that specifies how the business knowledge model elements are invoked and how their results are combined into the decision's outcome."

    So, in essence dictating that if a decision uses more than 1 BKM its expression must be a literal expression. In practice, a decision may use its BKMs in various ways - to populate a boxed context entry, or even not to invoke it at all and (say) pass the BKM to another BKMN or function accepting as function type parameter.

    This statement should be removed from the spec.

    Next: "If a decision does not require any business knowledge models, its value expression must be a literal expression or decision table that specifies the entire decision logic for deriving the output from the inputs."

    Again, whether a decision uses a BKM or not has no bearing on the type of expression a decision has. A decision with no BKM may have any expression including (say) a boxed context, or a list, or indeed may return a function definition - not just a literal expression or a decision table . The above text should be removed from the spec.

    Next: "Similarly, if a decision element requires only one business knowledge model element, but the logic of the decision elaborates on the logic of its required business knowledge model, the decision element must have a literal expression that specifies how the business knowledge model's value expression is invoked, and how its result is elaborated to provide the decision's outcome."

    The same - this text should be removed from the spec.

    Next: "In all other cases (i.e., when a decision requires exactly one business knowledge model and does not elaborate the logic), the value expression of a decision element may be a value expression of type invocation. In a value expression of type invocation, only the bindings of the business knowledge model parameters to the decisions input data need be specified: the outcome of the decision is the result returned by the business knowledge model's value expression for the values passed to its parameters."

    Again, this is unnecessarily limiting how a decision may use a BKM. For example, a decision may actually return the BKM as its value. The above text should be removed from the spec.

    Additionally, the following should be removed:

    "At the decision logic level, a decision invokes a required business knowledge model by evaluating the business knowledge model's value expression with the parameters bound to its own input value. How this may be achieved depends on how the decision logic is partitioned between the decision and business knowledge models:"

    A decision does not have to bind its input values to a BKM parameters. As a decision may have (say) contexts that evaluate in a top down manner and the binding to a BKMs parameters could be any manner of calculations in that context or results of other BKM invocations that do not strictly relate to the inputs of a decision.

Clarification regarding equivalence of date vs date and time

Depiction of Input Data is not harmonized with BPMN and CMMN

It is not possible to use a range of Dates as an iteration context

  • Key: DMN15-121
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Denis Gagne)
  • Summary:

    FEEL for iteration statement context limits the iteration context (Section of 10.3.2.14 ) to integers:
    "An iteration context may either be an expression that returns a list of elements, or two expressions that return integers connected by “..”. "

    It would be useful to augment the iteration context to also allow dates.

    This will allow to create simple decision logic that validates conditions for each date in the range and allows one to write decision logic that can validate the state on each day to calculate the number of days that meet a requirement.

    An general example use case could be, how many days in the range [2021-01-01..2022-01-01] meets a certain complex logic.

    A specific example of that would be to determine if the person and its spouse were both employed and living at the same address for at least the 3 of the last 5 years given a list of Job description for both (Date From, Date To, Employer) and a list of their declared residence for both (Date From, Date To, Address).

    This can of course be calculated in a different way, but the logic of iterating on a date range and checking if the condition is true for every day and summing the number of days for which its true makes the logic a lot simpler to follow for a business user.

Improvement of Semantic Domains Specification

  • Source: Goldman Sachs ( Octavian Patrascoiu)
  • Summary:

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

    • 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).

Incorrect typeRef for variables associated to BKMs

  • Key: DMN15-74
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Goldman Sachs ( Octavian Patrascoiu)
  • Summary:

    The typeRef attribute in the variable attribute of Business Knowledge Models in file 'Chapter 11 Example.dmn' from the examples archive is incorrect. The values references the output type (e.g. an item definition) and not a function item (introduced in DMN 1.3).

    According to DMN 1.3 (Table 14, page 57), the semantic of variable attribute is:

    This attribute defines a variable that is bound to the
    function defined by the FunctionDefinition, allowing
    decision logic to invoke the function by name.

    Hence, the typeRef attribute has to reference a FunctionItem, Any or no type at all.

    The issue was reported initially by Daniel Thanner in the TCK group (https://github.com/dmn-tck/tck/issues/376) and lead to the introduction of FunctionItems.

    Proposal:

    There are 3 ways to address this:
    1. Remove typeRef from variables in BKMs
    2. Change value to Any
    3. Create FunctionItems for every BKM in the dmn file and reference them

UNused Requirements are considered invalid

  • Key: DMN15-88
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat ( Matteo Mortari)
  • Summary:

    Executive summary: by the way the DMN specification stands, the description that Requirements SHALL (== "MUST") be referenced in the expression will nullify any CL1 DMN model and any DMN model not using FEEL, as not-conformant.

    In section 7.3.4 InformationItem metamodel we read:

    A variable representing an instance of Decision or InputData referenced by an InformationRequirement SHALL be referenced by the value expression of the decision logic in the Decision element that contains the InformationRequirement element. A parameter in an instance of BusinessKnowledgeModel SHALL be a variable in the value expression of that BusinessKnowledgeModel element.

    By side effect of this strict mandate in the specification, it is like saying an UNused requirement will fail conformance.

    Example: a decision enlist A, B, C as Requirements, but in the formula we use only A and B. According to the current spec, this makes the model failing conformance and invalid.

    Granted, it is always a best practice not only for BA but also for developers to avoid "unused requirements/variable"!
    But here is giving a strict mandate.

    Further, any DMN model which does not use FEEL "only DRG" automatically fail this constraint which is in Chapter 7.

    The DMN specification should follow best-practices of Modeling AND programming languages, where is NOT a blocking issue to have "unused requirements/variables", but of course warn when those are detected; this can be easily achieved by switching SHALL to SHOULD in the identified paragraphs in chapter 7.1 and 7.3.4 per proposal.

Underspecified when ranges may include a qualified name for the endpoint, which resolves to null

  • Key: DMN15-78
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat ( Matteo Mortari)
  • Summary:

    It is underspecified when the ranges may include a qualified name for the endpoint, which resolves to null.

    This was identified by Greg McCreath and Octavian Patrascoiu during TCK contributions.

    Ranges' Endpoints can be either a literal or a qualified name. If the qualified name resolves to null, and the endpoint inclusivity flag is false, it is semantically equivalent to the case of single-endpoint-range. This leads to ambiguity in Table 55: Semantics of decision table syntax

    This also requires the typo fix in https://issues.omg.org/browse/INBOX-1337

    Example

    With reference to examples in Table 42: Examples of range properties values

    Instead of (1..10]
    do consider (x..10]
    if x resolves to null
    then this is semantically equivalent to <=10.

    However, Table 55, row 9, cites:

    e1 in (e2..e3] is equivalent to e1 > e2 and e1<=e3

// exercise by hand..
e1 in (x..10] is equivalent to e1 > x and e1<=10
// if x resolves to null..
e1 in (null..10] is equivalent to e1 > null and e1<=10
e1 > null and e1<=10

    which is NOT equivalent to e1<=10, hence the ambiguity.

Clarification needed if null is passed as value for optional parameter of built in function

  • Key: DMN15-13
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ACTICO ( Daniel Thanner)
  • Summary:

    Some built-in functions has optional parameters. Chapter 10.3.4 describes "Whenever a parameter is outside its domain, the result of the built-in is null."

    Should the following call to a built-in function result to null?

    replace("This is a string", "[a-z]", "#", null)

    The optional parameter "flags" of the built-in function replace() is null. Parameter domain is string as stated in table 60 on page 133. Null is not in the domain of type string.

    This topic was already discussed in the DMN TCK. We think that the behavior should be the same as the function is called without the optional parameter:

    replace("This is a string", "[a-z]", "#", null) = replace("This is a string", "[a-z]", "#")

    Clarification in the specification is appreciated.

    May be we can change the sentence in chapter 10.3.4 on page 130 to: "Whenever a parameter is outside its domain, the result of the built-in is null. If null is passed as value to an optional parameter, the built-in behaves like no value is passed."

Business Knowledge Model can have Information Requirements

  • Key: DMN15-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Gary Hallmark)
  • Summary:

    FEEL function definitions are defined as lexical closures, which simply means that names in the function body must be in scope, and that scope includes the function parameters and, just like any other decision logic, it includes the information requirements and the knowledge requirements. This is very handy. For example, it allows the logic of a BKM to reference 100 Input Data items by name, without requiring that each invocation pass in 100 parameter bindings.

    In order for this to work, the BKM would model 100 Information Requirements on the 100 Input Data items, instead of modeling them as parameters. The boxed invocations would not have 100 rows of repetitive binding information. We must extend the MM and Table 2 to allow a BKM to have information requirements.

No notation for ItemDefinition

  • Key: DMN15-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Gary Hallmark)
  • Summary:

    The notion of a 'type' or ItemDefinition is in the metamodel (with some pending issues) and in the semantics and concepts, but little is in the notation. Thus, we have notation that allows you to execute an expression with actual arguments, but no notation to allow validation based on type information without actual values.

    We have most of the pieces, so it should not be difficult. E.g., individual values can be number, string, date and time, etc. We can allow numeric ranges using our unary tests, e.g. '>0', '[10..30)', etc. We can allow LOVs using "abc", "def", "ghi". These can be 'simple items', and we can also define structures using something similar to boxed contexts.

XSD: global context

  • Summary:

    10.3.2.9.2 says "The global context is a context provided for convenience and 'pre-compilation'. Any number of expressions can be named and represented in a FEEL context m. The syntactic description m of this context can be evaluated once, that is, mapped to the FEEL domain as m, and then re-used to evaluate many expressions." For example, you might want to put a Relation used as a multi-dimensional constant in the global context. Or you might want to put a reusable function definition in the global context. Currently the xsd does not have globals. All expressions are bound to a specific drgElement, not global. The Import element probably needs to be modified to support this also.

Gaps: Range as input, mapping to JSON, evaluation of non-FEEL expression languages

  • Key: DMN15-96
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat ( Matteo Mortari)
  • Summary:

    Current DMN Specification v1.4 has a few gaps in the following areas:

    1. Built-in function to support Range conversion
    2. Mapping of FEEL to JSON
    3. Evaluation of other expression language beyond FEEL

    In addition to the above gaps, during conversations in the OMG DMN RTF group, and in other communities with DMN interests, SMEs and Vendors have reported on the missing capabilities for a complete, semantically well-defined and interoperable solution, connected to the mentioned cases. For example, but not limiting to: the need to have FEEL:range as an input of the model, the need for external REST-based invocation of externally defined (stateless, side-effect-free) decision services, etc.

    The pragmatic aspects introduced in this proposal to cover the mentioned gaps above, could also be a meaningful foundational and propaedeutic work if the OMG DMN RTF group will want to pursue to eventually propose the DMN Specification to ISO, and/or the group will want to pursue to eventually refactor FEEL into its own stand-alone Specification.

    Finally, the DMN Specification already provides recommendations in the Annex(es) for integrations, in the scope of BPMN, etc., for harmonised semantic and potential improved interoperability; the DMN Spec could also offer similar recommendations in the scope of gap 3 identified above.

    This document advances pragmatic proposals that would both cover the existing gaps and provide the capabilities required to a well-defined and more interoperable solution.

Typo in 6.3.7 Decision metamodel

  • Key: DMN15-83
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat ( Matteo Mortari)
  • Summary:

    In the chapter "6.3.7 Decision metamodel",
    a reference is made to the fact a Decision's Name MUST be unique in the model, but there is likely a wrong copy-paste of a sentence from other section of the spec.

    It currently reads as:

    The name of an Invocable must be different from the name of any other invocable, input data, decision, or import in the decision model.

    But a Decision is NOT an Invocable.

    In the chapter "6.3.9 Business Knowledge Model metamodel" the same pharse is used and there is valid since a BKM is indeed an Invocable.

    In the chapter "6.3.11 Input Data metamodel" the analogous phrase is correctly adapted, since it reads as:

    The name of an InputData must be different from the name of any other decision, input data, business knowledge model, decision service, or import in the decision model.

    Conclusion

    Only in chapter chapter "6.3.7 Decision metamodel" the phrase is wrong as referring to "Invocable" when in fact it should have just used the term "Decision". The proposal will address this accordingly.

Enumerations can only be defined as strings

  • Key: DMN15-18
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Decision Management Solutions ( James Taylor [X] (Inactive))
  • Summary:

    Item Definitions can share constraints and these constraints are specified as unary tests. This allows definitions such as requiring a positive number ( >0) or restricting a field to a specific value ("high", "medium", "low").

    However this requires enumerations to be strings and does not allow enumerations to be managed (sorted for instance). In addition, an enumerated list might be used for a set of Information Items but it must be repeated in Decision Tables when columns are meant to be restricted to the list of values.

    DMN should allow for the creation and management of enumerations:

    • Name
    • Description (optional)
    • List of enumerated values (optionally with a sort order)

    These enumerations should be considered symbolic constants, not strings

    FEEL functions should be created to:
    Get the list of of allowed values for a specified enumeration
    Check a value against an enumeration to see if it is an allowed value for that enumeration
    Check the sort order of some specified values in the context of an enumeration

    Decision Tables should be able to reference an enumeration by name in the value list row
    Information Items should be able to be linked to an enumeration

    Not an issue in practice

    It sounds like nobody is really affected by this.
    Most users define a string item definition with a list of allowed values.
    Developers sometimes expect to feed a Java enumeration into a string resulting in an error. But most users invoke decisions via JSON data, e.g. because of invocation via REST or JSON being the data model of a BPMN engine.

Collect decision tables

  • Key: DMN15-31
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: FICO ( Alan Fish)
  • Summary:

    (1) The spec says "Collect: returns all hits in arbitrary order. An operator (‘+’, ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘#’) can be added to apply a simple function to the outputs. If no operator is present, the result is the list of all the output entries.". This is confusing - as I understand it if an operator is present a collect hit policy does not return all hits, only the result of the operation.

    (2) The spec should state clearly what result is returned by Collect decision tables when no rules fire. In particular the result of a C+ decision table is not clear, because the result of sum([]) is undefined. I think a case could be made (based on a recursive definition) that the sum of an empty list is zero, which would be a much more useful result from the decision table than null. In general, section 10.3.4.4 restricts the semantics of all list functions to non-empty lists, although some functions have natural and useful results for the empty list e.g. count([])=0, sum([])=0, sublist([],x,y)=[], append([],items)=[items], concatenate([],items)=items, reverse([])=[], union([],items)=[], distinct values([])=[], flatten([])=[].

    (3) Why is the result of C+ defined as "sum of all the distinct outputs" rather than just "sum of all the outputs"? I would say that if three rules fire proposing the value 5, the C+ result should be 15, not 5.

Can an expression in user defined function body reference a name outside of it's scope?

  • Key: DMN15-23
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ACTICO ( Daniel Thanner)
  • Summary:

    If an expression in a user defined function body references a name outside of it's scope (for example a parent scope), this scope must be available also during invocation of the function.

    Examples:

    • {f:function() a, a:1, i:f()}

      possible, since name a is still available in local context (scope) during invocation

    • {b:1,f:function() b}

      .f() impossible, since name b is not available outside of the context.

    It would be nice if the semantic mapping and the differentiation between function definition and invocation is clearly specified in the spec. What names can be referenced? Must the scopes also be available during invocation?

Metamodel constraints & validation

  • Key: DMN15-30
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Goldman Sachs ( Octavian Patrascoiu)
  • Summary:

    None of the metamodels contain logic constraints. For example, the name of a decision table is the same with the name of the variable defined inside of the decision table tag (invariant at decision table level).

    Ideally these constrains would be used to validate the diagrams before execution (e.g. generating code from Java). Bruce Silver's already covers some of the. We should add them and more in the spec.

    I think the metamodel constraints should be described with OCL – see the UML metamodels. There should be constraints for CL1, CL2 and CL3. It’s very likely the CL3 constraints will be a superset of CL2 constraints.

No adjustment for last day in month if duration is added/subtracted to date and time value

  • Key: DMN15-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ACTICO ( Daniel Thanner)
  • Summary:

    The specification says that the addition/subtraction of a date and time and a years and months duration value is defined as: 

    date and time (
   date(e1.year +/– e2.years + floor((e1.month+/– e2.months)/12),
   e1.month +/– e2.months – floor((e1.month +/– e2.months)/12) * 12,
   e1.day), 
   time(e1))

    If you apply this expression to the following two values:

    • date and time("2017-08-30T11:00:00Z")
    • duration("P18M")
      you would expect the following results:
    date and time("2017-08-30T11:00:00Z") + duration("P18M")  --> result should be date and time("2019-02-28T11:00:00Z")
date and time("2017-08-30T11:00:00Z") - duration("P18M")  --> result should be date and time("2016-02-29T11:00:00Z")

    If you apply the values to the defined formula, you get:

    date and time (
   date(2017 +/– 1 + floor((8 +/– 6)/12),
   8 +/– 6 – floor((8 +/– 6)/12) * 12,
   30), 
   time("11:00:00Z"))

    Addition
    which results for addition into:

    date and time (
   date(2018 + floor(1,1667),
   14 – floor(1,1667) * 12,

    date and time (date(2019, 2, 30), time("11:00:00Z"))

    The adjustment to the last valid day in a month is missing. 30th February is invalid, since February has only 28/29 days.

    Subtraction
    which results for subtraction into:

    date and time (
   date(2016 + floor(0,1667),
   2 – floor(0,1667) * 12,
   30), 
   time("11:00:00Z"))

    which is: 

    date and time (date(2016, 2, 30), time("11:00:00Z"))

    The adjustment to the last valid day in a month is missing. 30th February is invalid, since February has only 28/29 days.

    Recommendation:
    Adjustment to last valid day in month must be added to spec.

Enhancement suggestion: make unary tests first class citizens of the FEEL language

  • Key: DMN15-8
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat Inc ( Edson Tirelli)
  • Summary:

    This is a suggestion for future versions of the spec:

    Add support for Unary Tests as first class citizens of the FEEL language, in a similar way as ranges and functions already are.

    A unary test is really a “predicate”: a single parameter function that returns a boolean. It is syntax sugar on:

    function ( x ) x in <unary_test>

    FEEL already supports functions as first class citizens, so it makes sense to support Unary Tests. The following two syntaxes would then be equivalent:

    is minor : < 18
    is minor : function( age ) age in < 18

    Invoking unary tests explicitly would be like invoking a function:

    Bob is minor : is minor( bob.age )

    More importantly, it would allow the implementation to actually support passing unary tests as parameters to functions and make the example on page 115 viable:

    decision table (
    outputs: "Applicant Risk Rating",
    input expression list: [Applicant Age, Medical History],
    rule list: [
    [ >60, "good", "Medium" ],
    [ >60, "bad", "High" ],
    [ [25..60], -, "Medium" ],
    [ <25, "good", "Low" ],
    [ <25, "bad", "Medium" ]
    ],
    hit policy: "Unique"
    )

    Unary test syntax is not ambiguous, so supporting it would mean to basically change rule 2 in the grammar to include rules 14 and 17 as possible options. The semantic mapping table on page 116 would also need to include a new FEEL value type: "unary test".

Add two new concrete numeric types, make number abstract

  • Key: DMN15-16
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Goldman Sachs ( Octavian Patrascoiu)
  • Summary:

    Currently S-FEEL / FEEL contains only one single numeric type called number that matches the semantics defined in IEEE 754-2008.

    This can lead to some strange constructions, such as
    substring("footbar", 3.67)
    perfect valid in FEEL.

    It also has impact on the performance of the execution (speed).

    Here is my proposal:

    • keep number as an abstract type to backwards compatibility
    • add a new concrete type real/float/decimal that matches the semantics of defined in IEEE 754-2008
    • add a new concrete type integer
    • change the signature of all built-in functions to restrict number to integer when it makes sense (e.g. index in a string and list, length of string. size of list)
    • add a separate paragraph to specify the implicit conversions performed by the FEEL processor when required (e.g. function resolution). For example,
      2 + 4.5 leads to a promotion 2 -> 2.0 that adding it 4.5.

    If we agree in principal all start working on it.

Lexical representation of time string has ambiguous definitons

  • Key: DMN15-17
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ACTICO ( Daniel Thanner)
  • Summary:

    A lexical time string is defined o page 131 by XML Schema Part 2 Datatypes (for local times and offset times) and by ISO 8601 with the extended form of a local time (for zoned times).

    Unfortunately XML Schema Part 2 and ISO 8601 has different definitions. Therefore it is unclear which of them to use. Or are both of them valid?

    Additionally the user should not have different lexical time string formats for a local time, an offset time or a zoned time.

    The list of ambiguities:

    • ISO 8601 allows a leading "T" character prefix. XML Schema Part 2 does not.
    • ISO 8601 allows optional seconds. In XML Schema Part 2, the seconds are mandatory.
    • ISO 8601 allows decimal fraction for seconds and minutes. XML Schema Part does not allow this.
    • ISO 8601 allows 00:00:00 and 24:00:00 for midnight. XML Schema Part 2 only allows 00:00:00.
    • ISO 8601 allows time offset of hours only. Minutes are optional. XML Schema Part 2 always requires minutes.

    Therefore clarification is needed. Which definitions are valid for FEEL? The stricter XML Schema Part 2 or the more user friendly ISO 8601 spec?

    For us it is unclear what decisions should be stored in the DMN model as encapsulated decisions. Must the output decisions also be included in the list of encapsulated decisions (as stated on page 25, 26)? Or does the list of encapsulated decisions only hold the decisions contained in the lower compartment of a decision service (as mentioned on 56 since encapsulatedDecisions seems to be optional)?

Inconsistency DMNv1.2 dropping [a]=a and get entries example

  • Key: DMN15-52
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Red Hat ( Matteo Mortari)
  • Summary:

    Since DMNv1.2 the spec dropped the equivalence of:

    [a] = a

    because it does not apply to the statement that

    a singleton list L, when used in an expression where a list is not expected, behaves as if L[1] is written.

    So the expression

    [a] = a

    on DMNv1.2 is expected to return false.

    However, in section 10.3.2.6 Context of the spec, it provides the following statement for the get entries function:

    To retrieve a list of key,value pairs from a context m, the following built-in function may be used: get entries(m).
    For example, the following is true:

    get entries({key 1 : "value 1 "})[key="key 1 "].value = "value 1 "

    BUT 

    get entries({key1 : "value1"})[key="key1"].value = "value1"

  by substitution:

[ { key : "key1", value : "value1" } ][key="key1"].value = "value1"
[ { key : "key1", value : "value1" } ].value = "value1"
[ "value1" ] = "value1"

    according to DMNv1.2 should be false

    By the same principle that the DMNv1.2 for the following literal expression:

    [123] = 123

    on DMNv1.2 is expected to be false

need set operations and equality in FEEL

  • Source: Oracle ( Gary Hallmark)
  • Summary:

    some notes toward a proper description:
    FEEL has ordered lists and some set builtins, e.g. distinct values and union. Lacks intersection and equality.

    [1,2] in (1,2,[1,2], 3) is true

    intersect([1,2,3], [3,1,4]) = [1,3]

    set equals([1,1,3], [3,1]) is true
    probably - distinct values([1,1,3]) = distinct values([3,1])
    maybe change to set([1,1,3]) = set([3,1])
    (set needs to both remove dups and return elements in canonical order)
    what is canonical order [null, 0, {}, []]?
    [1,3] = [3,1] is false

    Another option is to add sets to FEEL semantic domain (along with lists, numbers, contexts, ...). And need syntax.

    simpler and more biz friendly proposal - add 'contains any' and 'contains all' as boolean infix operators taking 2 lists as LHS and RHS. And allow these to be added to unary tests w/o a '?'. E.g. 1,2,3 , in (1,2,3) , contains any (1,2,3), contains all (1,2,3). First 2 are what we have now (2nd allowed for symmetry). Last 2 assume input expr is a list (set).

    if we just add set oriented builtins, but no friendlier syntax, this may not solve the biz problem of allowing DTs to process sets in a user friendly way. Too many ()s and ?s

notion of arbitrary order conflicts with lack of an unordered collection data type

  • Key: DMN15-34
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Signavio GmbH ( Bastian Steinert)
  • Summary:

    Section "8.2.11 Hit policy" describes that hit policy "Collect: returns all hits in arbitrary order". This implies that the order of the results does not have to be deterministic and can also vary among different implementations. However, the standard only supports the notion of 'lists', which do have an order. The comparison of lists is also specified in a way that the order of elements is significant. The issue might get more clear when thinking about testing the interface of decisions. Strictly speaking, it is currently not feasible to define a test against a decision table with hit policy 'collect'. The expected result can only be defined using a list, whose elements do have an order. The operator to compare the 'expected' and the 'actual' result will also take order into account.

    The issue could easily be resolved by replacing 'arbitrary order' with 'rule order'.

DMN Models need a default timezone

  • Key: DMN15-38
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: fujitsu america ( keith swenson)
  • Summary:

    All date expressions, if the timezone is not explicitly mentioned, are interpreted as being in the timezone of the computer running the code. This means you can design a model that runs correctly in one timezone,a nd incorrectly in a different one.

    Imagine you have a development team in Bangalore which makes a DMN model that runs correctly and passes all the tests. Then it is installed into the company server in London, and it fails.
    Does anyone think this is a good idea?

    The solution is simple: the model should have a default timezone. All date expressions that don't mention the timezone are interpreted according to this default time zone, and NOT according the timezone of the machine you are running on. Then, models will run exactly the same way no matter where it is run. That is a good idea, right?

    Semantic References can be added to link the Data Item to the “official” details.
    Uses of the Data Items in BPM+ models that determine the scope of Situational Data include:

    However the standard as written says that an output entry must adhere to the literal expression grammar, and '-' is not allowed. You have to return some FEEL value, e.g. 0, false, "N/A", null, etc.

Support for recursive calls by Business Knowledge Models

  • Key: DMN15-49
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Montera Pty Ltd ( Greg McCreath)
  • Summary:

    The definition of "well formed" for a BusinessKnowledgeModel excludes the notion of the encapulatedLogic of a BusinessKnowledgeModel being able to invoke itself to permit recursion. There is no means to define a 'self' relationship via knowledgeRequirements - the spec forbids it.

    However, vendors are currently supporting BusinessKnowledgeModel recursion simply by permitting a BusinessKnowledgeModel's encapulatedLogic to invoke the contained BusinessKnowledgeModel as a function using the contained BusinessKnowledgeModel's name. I propose we formalise this in the spec.

    I propose that after the definition of well-formed on page 56/57 (repeated below):

    "An instance of BusinessKnowledgeModel is said to be well-formed if and only if, either it does not have any knowledgeRequirement, or all of its knowledgeRequirement elements are well-formed. That condition
    entails, in particular, that the requirement subgraph of a BusinessKnowledgeModel element SHALL be acyclic, that is, that a BusinessKnowledgeModel element SHALL not require itself, directly or indirectly. "

    The following paragraph is added:

    "However, the encapsulatedLogic within a BusinessKnowledgeModel may invoke itself in a recursive manner by using the name of the containing BusinessKnowledgeModel as an invokable name."

properly define type(e)

  • Key: DMN15-51
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( Gary Hallmark)
  • Summary:

    In some places the spec uses type(e) and other places type(e). These are different. The former provides a type-checking function that can validate a FEEL expression e without input data values (although some kind of scope is needed for disambiguation). The latter simply returns the datatype of the semantic domain element e. The former is more useful to implementors, but more work to specify. Essentially, all the semantic mapping tables need a new column to specify the result type given the input types, for each FEEL operator and builtin. The latter is a matter of generalizing Table 39. It must cover cases such as type([0,false]). It should be clear that type(e) as a function must return the most specific type (and there must be only 1), but informally the types also include those that are conformed to, so for example, [1,2,3] has types list<number>, list<Any>, Any.

Knowledge Package Model and Notation (KPMN)

  • Key: DMN15-41
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BPM Advantage Consulting ( Stephen White)
  • Summary:

    A Knowledge Package is mechanism for packaging and distributing a set of BPM+ models (the knowledge)
    A Knowledge Package references separate, but connected BPM+ models (BPMN Processes, CMMN Cases, and DMN Decision Services)
    KPMN is focused solely on the BMI behavioral standards
    A Knowledge Package also contains a Data Item library for the data that will be used by the BPM+ models
    A Situational Data Model and Notation (SDMN) is also being proposed as a potential BMI standard to be added to the BPM+ stack (see separate presentation on this topic)
    A Knowledge Package also contains metadata about the topic of the package to aid in understanding the content and to find appropriate Knowledge Packages
    We are still exploring the relationships between KPMN and Provenance and Pedigree
    KPMN includes a diagram to illustrate the scope of the Knowledge Package’s content (a Knowledge Model Diagram)

Clarification on DMN case sensitivity of timezones

  • Key: DMN15-50
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Montera Pty Ltd ( Greg McCreath)
  • Summary:

    DMN spec refers to usage of iana timezones. iana does not specify that timezones are case-sensitive - that is up to the implementation. https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html: re zone naming:

    "Do not use names that differ only in case. Although the reference implementation is case-sensitive, some other implementations are not, and they would mishandle names differing only in case."

    This issue is seeking clarification via the spec as to whether DMN's usage of time zones permits case insensitivity such that "etc/utc" is the same zone as "Etc/UTC" ... or not.

"instance of" not possible with some built-in functions

  • Key: DMN15-53
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Montera Pty Ltd ( Greg McCreath)
  • Summary:

    some built in functions are overloaded in that they can have multiple signatures. So, say, performing an "instance of" to compare against the function "min" is meaningless as the signature is not known unless it is invoked.

    Unless the type system is to take into account overloaded functions?

Missing semantics for multiple imports

  • Key: DMN15-58
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Goldman Sachs ( Octavian Patrascoiu)
  • Summary:

    The semantics of Import is not fully specified.

    In certain use cases the same DMN element (e.g. ItemDefinition or DRGElement) can be imported multiple times (e.g. transitive imports).

    Lets consider the following use case:

    • Model A contains the definition of an InputData for a Person (e.g. name, age etc)
    • Model B imports model A. Model B contains a decisions DB that uses the Person as input
    • Model C imports models A and B. Model C contains a decision DC that uses Person and DB as input

    In this situation model C imports Person twice due to transitive import.

    In order to evaluate DC the Person InputData has to be bound to a value. The question is how many values is the user going to provide, lets say in a Web form? A single value or one value for each import path (in this case 2)?

    I am inclining towards the first option - one single value per input data. Here is my rationale:

    • InputDatas / DRGElements are uniquely identified by model namespace and DRGElement.name
    • InputDatas own one single variable (see 6.3. Metamodel). The semnatics for InputData.variable is in Table 18:
      The instance of InformationItem that stores the resul
