在DMN中，所有的decision logic都是用boxed expression展现的。Clause 7.2介绍了boxed expression的概念并且定义了两个简单类：boxed literal expressions 和boxed invacations。Clause 8 中定义的decision tables就是一种非常重要的boxed expression。此章节通过定义其他种类的boxed expression，完善了decision logic的图形符号（graphical notation）。 Box中的表达式都是FEEL表达式。FEEL是Friendly Enough Expression Language的缩写

上一章节介绍了决策模型的决策依赖层：一个或多个DRD组成一个DRG，可用于对一个领域的决策结构进行建模。然而，每个决策如何从输入得到结果的细节必须建立在决策逻辑层之上。本章节介绍了决策逻辑与决策依赖之间作用（DRG元素）的原理。决策逻辑的具体表现会在：决策表、S-FEEL和FEEL表达式章节详细介绍。

DMN的主要目标是提供一个让业务人员容易理解的公共标记，从业务分析人员需要创建最初的决策需求到更细节的决策模型，再到技术人员负责自动化决策编程，最终到业务人员管理和监控这些决策。DMN将业务决策设计到决策实现创建了一个标准的桥梁。DMN标记是沿着BPMN标准设计的业务过程标记。 另一个目标是确保决策模型是可以通过XML跨组织交换的。
