Detailed Description

Lists all Terms defined in the Core.

OTX terms represent syntactic expressions which can be evaluated in order to yield a value. The resulting value of a term can be a simple value (e.g. an integer in the OTX Integer case) or a reference to complex data (e.g. a reference to a list in the OTX List case). Terms are required in various places in the data model, when a value needs to be computed which is then e.g. assigned to a variable, used as an input parameter for a procedure call, or used as the condition truth value in a branch, etc.

Every OTX term is categorized according to its return type. The OTX syntax prescribes a term hierarchy; the leaf term categories correspond directly to the OTX data types, e.g. every StringTerm will return a String value. The higher level term categories bundle other term categories – e.g. all terms returning an Integer (IntegerTerm) and terms returning a Float (FloatTerm) are in the category NumericTerm. The higher level categories are used in places where more then one data type is allowed, e.g. in a ForEachLoop, the collection over which the loop iterates may be a List or a Map, so the CollectionTerm is used which bundles both MapTerm and ListTerm. There is also the high-level term SimpleTerm which serves to separate terms returning simple values from terms returning references.

There are also concrete terms derived directly from a higher level category; this is required for terms where the returned data type is determined according to the term argument data types, e.g. the Add term which is a NumericTerm because it returns an Integer value if all summand arguments are Integer, but it returns a Float value if all summand arguments are Float, etc.

Note
OTX terms never have side-effects – this means that the arguments of a term will not be changed by term evaluation.
The abstract OTX Core terms are extensible. This means that OTX extensions may derive new terms from any of the abstract term categories defined in the OTX Core.
