Model element characteristic preservation is provided when instantiating unified modeling language elements of a unified modeling language model. Requirements management tool elements become associated with a stereotype via, for instance, user assignment of the stereotype to a requirements type of the requirements management project. A stereotype assignment is obtained for a requirements management tool element, and the stereotype is automatically applied when instantiating a UML element representative of the requirements management tool element. Nesting and traceability relationships between the requirements management tool element and other requirements management tool elements are additionally preserved.

Model element characteristic preservation in modeling environments

A method, a system and a program product provide for defining for an information technology (IT) system that may be modeled within the context of a plurality of architecture viewpoints, and whose model elements are defined within a configuration file, a plurality of architecture viewpoints within a single UML model. The method, the system and the program product also provide for synchronously automatically updating a remainder of the architecture viewpoints when one of the architecture viewpoints is manually updated.
