A code distinguishing whether an Act is conceived of as a factual statement or in some other manner as a command, possibility, goal, etc.

The moodCode of a single Act-instance never changes. Mood is not state.

To describe the progression of a business activity from defined to planned to executed, etc. one must instantiate different Act-instances in the different moods and link them using ActRelationship of general type "sequel". (See ActRelationship.type.)

OpenIssue: In Ballot 2009May, a strong Negative vote was lodged against several of the concept definitions in the vocabulary used for Act.moodCode. The vote was found "Persuasive With Mod", with the understanding that M and M would undertake a detailed review of these concept definitions for a future release of the RIM.

A code distinguishing whether an Act is conceived of as a factual statement or in some other manner as a command, possibility, goal, etc.

The moodCode of a single Act-instance never changes. Mood is not state.

To describe the progression of a business activity from defined to planned to executed, etc. one must instantiate different Act-instances in the different moods and link them using ActRelationship of general type "sequel". (See ActRelationship.type.)

The Act.moodCode modifies the meaning of the Act class in a controlled way, just as in natural language, grammatical form of a verb modify the meaning of a sentence in defined ways. For example, if the mood is factual (event,) then the entire act object represents a known fact. If the mood expresses a plan (intent,) the entire act object represents the expectation of what should be done. The mood does not change the meaning of individual act properties in peculiar ways.

Since the mood code is a determining factor for the meaning of an entire Act object, the mood must always be known. This means, whenever an act object is instantiated, the mood attribute must be assigned to a valid code, and the mood assignment can not change throughout the lifetime of an act object.

As the meaning of an act object is factored in the mood code, the mood code affects the interpretation of the entire Act object and with it every property (attributes and associations.) Note that the mood code affects the interpretation of the act object, and the meaning of the act object in turn determines the meaning of the attributes. However, the mood code does not arbitrarily change the meaning of individual attributes.

By contrast, most of the Act class' attributes are descriptive for what the Act statement expresses. Descriptive properties of the Act class give answer to the questions who, whom, where, with what, how and when the action is done. The questions who, whom, with what, and where are answered by Participatons, while how and when is answered by descriptive attributes and ActRelationships. The interpretation of a descriptive attribute is aligned to the interpretation of the entire act object, and controlled by the mood.

The DEFINITION mood specifies the Act of "obtaining blood glucose". Participations describe in general the characteristics of the people who must be involved in the act, and the required objects, e.g., specimen, facility, equipment, etc. involved. The Observation.value specifies the absolute domain (range) of the observation (e.g., 15-500 mg/dl.)

In INTENT mood the author of the intent expresses the intent that he or someone else "should obtain blood glucose". The participations are the people actually or supposedly involved in the intended act, especially the author of the intent or any individual assignments for group intents, and the objects actually or supposedly involved in the act (e.g., specimen sent, equipment requirements, etc.) The Observation.value is usually not specified, since the intent is not to measure blood glucose, not to measure blood glucose in a specific range. (But compare with GOAL below.)

In ORDER mood, a kind of intent, the author requests to "please obtain blood glucose". The Participations are the people actually and supposedly involved in the act, especially the placer and the designated filler, and the objects actually or supposedly involved in the act (e.g., specimen sent, equipment requirements, etc.) The Observation.value is usually not specified, since the order is not to measure blood glucose in a specific range.

In EVENT mood, the author states that "blood glucose was obtained". Participations are the people actually involved in the act, and the objects actually involved (e.g., specimen, facilities, equipment.) The Observation.value is the value actually obtained (e.g., 80 mg/dL, or<15 mg/dL.)

In event-CRITERION mood, an author considers a certain class of "obtaining blood glucose" possibly with a certain value (range) as outcome. The Participations constrain the criterion, for instance, to a particular patient. The Observation.value is the range in which the criterion would hold (e.g. > 180 mg/dL or 200?300 mg/dL.)

In GOAL mood (a kind of criterion) the author states that "our goal is to be able to obtain blood glucose with the given value (range)". The Participations are similar to intents, especially the author of the goal and the patient for whom the goal is made. The Observation.value is the range which defined when the goal is met (e.g. 80?120 mg/dl.)

The notion of mood also resembles the various extensions of the logic of facts in modal logic and logic with modalities, where the moodCode specifies the modality (fact, possibility, intention, goal, etc.) under which the Act-statement is judged as appropriate or defective.
