Definition
A Model is an abstraction that represents a subject according to a particular Purpose and Concern so that it can be understood, reasoned about, evaluated, or constructed. It is not the subject itself; it preserves the elements, relationships, and meanings required for its purpose.
SimpleModeling
A SimpleModeling Model is composed of Object, Knowledge, and Literate Models. These are constituent Models that express different aspects of the same subject in forms suited to their users and purposes. They correspond through shared terms and stable identities and together form one Model.
The three constituents are not themselves Views. A View selects and presents the Model Elements required from the three Models according to a particular Purpose and Concern.
