While other work in model management has looked at models as static objects to be administered in database-like fashion, the authors emphasize the central role of process knowledge in model construction, usage, and maintenance. They claim that tools are needed to collaboratively elicit knowledge, to represent it conceptually, and to maintain its consistency over time by constraint propagation and reason maintenance. The authors describe examples of such tools and propose a general approach for integrating them.
