Model names and locations

[opatrascoiu]

I spent some time to investigate how we link the DMN and TCK files. Here are my findings.

The test files contain a tag called <modelName>. However, the actual value is a file name, the name of the file that contains the model (e.g. 0106-feel-ternary-logic.dmn). All the test files are consistent, the content of <modelName> is always a file name.

The content of the tag <name> in the DMN files does not match the name of the file. The majority of the DMN files have <name> the same as the file name without extension. About 57 DMN files have names unrelated to the file name. For example, 0106-feel-ternary-logic.dmn, has the name 'feel-logic'.

I can think of the following approach to deal with these inconsistencies and have a precise way of linking TCK and DMN files:

1. Keep the content of <modelName> in the TCK files as it is, the suffix of the URI for the location of the DMN file.
2. Change the inconsistent DMN files to have <name> the same as the file name without extension (logical link), or add a property locationURI in TDefintions (physical link) in all of them.

Open to other suggestions.
