The best way to ensure that a shared model has consistently-represented elements and diagrams is to use modeling conventions and standards. Modeling conventions and standards are rules and guidelines that define how the model elements and diagrams should be named, defined, structured, formatted and documented. Modeling conventions and standards can help improve the clarity, consistency and quality of the model and facilitate the communication and collaboration among the modelers and stakeholders. Implementation of standard libraries is a good way to ensure that a shared model has reusable and interoperable elements and diagrams, but it may not ensure their consistent representation. Packages that map one-for-one to components is a good way to ensure that a shared model has modular and traceableelements and diagrams, but it may not ensure their consistent representation. Domain stereotypes maintained in a configuration control system is a good way to ensure that a shared model has customized and controlled elements and diagrams, but it may not ensure their consistent representation.
