Notes (raw)

We discussed the attributes that are flags for provenance and pedigree that are in SCE and SDMN. We agreed that we don't need them. If the developers of a Knowledge Package want to flag P&P, then they should include a PPMN model as part of the Manifest.

We discussed the possibility of separating ItemDefinition as a separate spec that DMN and SDMN could use. We still might do this later, after discussing this in the DMN group, but we decided a different approach for now.

We will directly reference the DMN elements in the SDMN, creating a dependency. This will simply SDMN and reduce the duplication between the specs. We will have to create a specialized version of the ItemDefinition class and add a couple of new properties. We will propose that the DMN RTF add these properties for DMN 1.4. If this happens, we can just reference the updated DMN class.

Falko asked about a notation for ItemDefinition, but we had decided earlier to just notate the Data Items. Notating ItemDefinition might bring back arguments about "why not use UML?," which we want to avoid. And since we will just be pointing to the DMN ItemDefinition now, such a notation would be in the DMN RTF's hands.
