Machine-readable files of OMG's DMN specification

The main goal of working with GitHub is to have a clear diff for each change to the DMN XML schema that can be linked in the DMN RTF report.

Namespace URIs

Namespace URIs will change in every schema file that changes in a revision. The URIs are based on the RTF Report Due Date which can be found in the Work in Progress page of the revision. For example the DMN 1.3 RTF Report is due on November 11, 2019 and therefore the Namespace URI is https://www.omg.org/spec/DMN/20191111/MODEL/.

How we work in this repository

• Each proposal (JIRA issue) that contains XSD changes MUST contain a link to a Git commit, before it is scheduled for a ballot.

• One commit per issue (if there is more they MUST be squashed with git rebase)

• Before an issue can go into a ballot it needs to me merged into the master branch, so that the link to a diff does not change any more

• Tags can be used to mark the results of ballots, after they are closed

• The order of commits within a ballot does not matter

• Commits of different ballots must be in the order of the ballots they belong to (git rebase can be used to reorder commits as needed)

• Commits that have not been in a ballot MUST appear after the ones that have been in ballots in the master branch

• JIRA MUST only reference one commit. If a commit as been amended, the link in JIRA needs to be changed, before the issue is scheduled for a ballot.

• Numbers of issues and proposals MUST be referenced in commit messages, e.g.:

  DMN11-30/DMN11-95 Add Definitions/@exporter, @exporterVersion

• In the commit message one MAY add links back to JIRA:

  Issue: http://solitaire.omg.org/browse/DMN11-30
  Proposal: http://solitaire.omg.org/browse/DMN11-95

Hints

You can use the following commit message template:

DMN12-/DMN12-

Issue: http://solitaire.omg.org/browse/DMN12-
Proposal: http://solitaire.omg.org/browse/DMN12-

git commit --template=commit-message-template.txt

One can check if an issue is mentioned in a commit using:

git log --all --grep 89
git log --all --grep 11-89

Committing changes on behalf of someone else:

git commit --author="Bruce Silver <bruce@example.com>" --template=commit-message-template.txt
git commit --author="Bruce Silver <bruce@example.com>" --reedit-message=HEAD
