==== Diagram Naming Conventions ====
 
* Always use the full name of the item.  An acronym, if applicable, may be placed in brackets.  E.g.:  System Monitoring Service (SMS)
 
* Never put service/function/process in the name of the element 
 
* Prepend diagram names (WIP) to indicate diagrams that are "Works in Progress".  E.g.:  "(WIP)Business Intake Process".
 
* Prepend diagram names with a type/level if necessary. 
 
** For example, if one has a Business Process Cooperation Diagram for a Segment, do  "Segment: Segment Name".  E.g.:  Segment: Connectivity
 
** One might do several levels of diagram (conceptual, logical, physical).  To indicate the level, one might append a "- conceptual" to a name.  E.g.:  Monitoring System - conceptual, or Monitoring System - logical.
 
* If a diagram is about a particular function/process/element in a larger scope, give the diagram the same name as the element.  e.g.:  A business process cooperation diagram describing the Data Center Facilities Management SSC service would be named:  "Data Center Facilities Management".
 
* For SSC Service diagrams, one can prepend the title "Service:".  e.g.:  "Service: Data Center Facilities Management".
 
 
 
==== Associations (QualiWare vs ArchiMate) ====
 
One can make both QualiWare associations (Breaks down to, RelationContext, Documents, Tags....) and/or ArchiMate relationships (lines of particular types).
 
* For diagrams, always show the appropriate ArchiMate relationships.
 
* Between diagrams, it's wise and helpful to do a Breaks down to association between objects/elements in your diagram to relevant sub-diagrams (details).
 
* One may wish to make "hard" QualiWare associations between major functions/processes as "breaks down to" relationships as well.  Investigation required as to if this is necessary for the types of reporting we want to do.
