The terms model and modelling are used so intensively in many disciplines that it
is hard to narrow down their actual meanings. Even in Software Engineering the
understanding of these terms depend very much on the context. We believe that
this contributes to the discrepancy of the modelling approaches. In this article we
point out some of the problems resulting from this and the importance of having a
more proper definition along with set of instruments for it. We look at more general
definitions of model from outside the bounds of Software Engineering. We go through
the modelling of various by-products of software engineering processes. Finally we
present our vision about how a common foundation can be used for our benefit.
