Knowledge Source

A Knowledge Source represents an authority for a Decision or Business Knowledge Model.

Semantics​

  • Authority: It denotes where the knowledge comes from (e.g., "Loan Policy Documents", "Compliance Rulebook").
  • Documentation Only: In QuantumDMN, Knowledge Sources are currently informational. They do not contain executable logic and do not affect the output of a decision.

Visual Representation​

In a DRD, a Knowledge Source is represented by a wave-bottomed rectangle. It typically points to a Decision or BKM with an "authority requirement" connector.
