Abstract

A design-time status schema model is defined at design-time and includes a core status schema group and an. a status schema model. The status schema model includes a core status schema group and an extended status schema group. The status schema model also includes a precondition included in one of the status schema groups. The precondition identifies how a status affects whether an action included in the other of the status schema groups is to be allowed to be performed at runtime by a data object node instance having the status. Based on a status schema instance, the status of a data object node instance is monitored to determine whether the action is allowed to be performed by the data object node instance. In response to a determination that the action is allowed, enabling the action to be executed.
