Mood
Revision as of 06:45, 29 April 2007 by Rene spronk (talk | contribs)
The Mood of an Act Class is a code distinguishing whether an Act is conceived of as a factual statement or in some other manner as a command, possibility, goal, etc.
Constraints: An Act-instance must have one and only one moodCode value. The moodCode of a single Act-instance never changes. Mood is not state, the state of an Act-instance can go though all state transations as defined in the RIM.
- Note: D-MIMs and R-MIMs may contain Acts that don't have a fixed mood. Act-instances (on the wire in an interaction) have to have a fixed mood.
To describe the progression of a business activity from defined to planned to executed, etc. one must instantiate different Act-instances in the different moods and link them using ActRelationships.
