  text: Traceability, a classic requirements engineering topic, is increasingly used
    in the context of model-based engineering. However, researchers and practitioners
    lack a concise terminology to discuss aspects of requirements traceability in
    situations in which engineers heavily rely on models and model-based engineering.
    While others have previously surveyed the domain, no one has so far provided a
    clear, unambiguous set of terms that can be used to discuss traceability in such
    a context. We therefore set out to cut a path through the jungle of terminology
    for model-based traceability, ground it in established terminology from requirements
    engineering, and derive an unambiguous set of relevant terms. We also map the
    terminology used in existing primary and secondary studies to our taxonomy to
    show differences and commonalities. The contribution of this paper is thus a terminology
    for model-based traceability that allows requirements engineers and engineers
    working with models to unambiguously discuss their joint traceability efforts.
