IBM ODM : Verbalization for boolean functions in XOM

I am new to ODM and I was trying to play around with verbalization. I have a question here. Suppose there is a String field “discountDate” in my XOM and I need to write a rule like if the discount date of sale is{not} having date format "dd/mm/yyyy" then {do something}

To write such kind of rule how should my verbalization be? This is my XOM class : -
XOM Class

The respective Verbalization which I have given in BOM is :-

enter image description here

My question here is that for the verbalization I am able to only give a Positive verbalization here like “{0} is having date format {1}”. Instead of giving an else condition in the Rule is there any way to give verbalization like ““{0} is not having date format {1}” Do we need to write two separate function in the XOM one that returns true by default for that a positive verbalization and one that returns negative for that a negative verbalization?? Or is there any other better way to do this??

Solution

  • It's a little clunky, but you can write the condition in the rule as:

    it is not true that the discount date of sale is having date format "dd/mm/yyyy"
