AUXILIARY CONCEPTS

The conglomerate auxiliary concept from ISO/IEC 24744 is also covered by the notation.

A conglomerate is a collection of related methodology elements that can be reused in different methodological contexts. Conglomerates are not partitioned since they belong to the Method rather than to the Endeavour domain.

The symbol used to depict a conglomerate is a large rectangle, inside which other symbols can be nested, plus a smaller rectangle stacked on top of the top-left corner of the former. Line colour is black and fill colour is white.

The name of the conglomerate is shown inside the small rectangle, flush left. This symbol depicts a folder containing other elements.
