I have an intermediate BPMN-level of knowledge and am new to DFD, despite it being older. Decision Management Notation (DMN) is also new to me (and I see a relatively new notation developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) org). I see the benefits of them all. And definitely, DFD and DMN would be very of much use for me in the business of consulting and assisting organizations in various areas of compliance to norms, laws, and other projects needing to look at data flow and helping them better arrive at creating better processes for decision making within their organizations. Much appreciate this!

The information requirements of a DRD define a dataflow: from the input data elements, though intermediate decisions, to the top level decisions. As with DFDs, the arrows denote information flow, not sequence. The knowledge requirements in the DRD (showing how decisions depend on business knowledge models) cannot be seen in this way; they are more similar to functional dependencies.
