InformationFlowDefinition

Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Process::InformationFlowDefinition

Definition

The relationships between parameters across steps is described by the information flow definition. Each relationship creates a pathway for an information object to follow.

Examples

The output of one parameter might be the input of another one. Think of a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) diagram or an extract, transform, and load (ETL) pipeline definition as the sum of these relationships.

Explanatory notes

In DDI Lifecycle an information flow definition was referred to in terms of a “binding”.
