Data Types
You’ll frequently handle data when you build a DMN model, and when you think about data, you need to think about types.
Sometimes you will face very simple situations, like this:
On this example, the decision node, possibly a decision table, checks the input nodes Age and Driver license type. In this example the values for these input nodes are, respectively, the number 28
and the string "Class A"
, since this person looks old enough and has the properly license, the decision node returns the boolean true
.
The DMN Specification often refers to data types as Item Definitions, both names means strictly the same thing.
