Annotations

The handling of model (schema) entities by Insight and certain global settings such as execution modes or unit conversions are configured via annotations to the Mosel model. The following Mosel model extract shows some examples of annotation definitions.

 !@insight.manage=input
 public declarations        ! All entities declared here are managed as input
  !@insight.alias Suppliers
  !@insight.descr Set of all suppliers
  SUPP: set of string
  DEP: set of string                !@insight.alias Depots
  DIST: array(SUPP,DEP) of real     !@insight.unit mile
 end-declarations

 ! The 'insight.units' or 'insight.execmodes' annotations must be stated as global
 ! annotations, so not immediately preceding 'declarations'

 ! Define a unit 'mile' with conversion rules for 'meter' and 'kilometer'

 (!@insight.units.mile.
   @name mile
   @abbreviation mi
   @conversion.meter.factor=1609.34
   @conversion.kilometer.scale=0.621373
  !)

 ! Define an execution mode 'analyzedata'

 (!@insight.execmodes.analyzedata.
   @descr Analyzing input data
   @clearinput false
   @threads 1
  !)

  "analyzedata": do

  end-do
  INSIGHT_MODE_LOAD: do

  end-do
  !...                          ! Handling of other execution modes
