Diagrams pros and cons
Pros:
Convenient for knowledge elicitation and structuring view
(from particular viewpoint);
Effective for knowledge dissemination to final users
Cons:
Hard to align different views and integrate information
from different diagrams.
especially under the following conditions:
o evolving large-scale models,
o different and overlapping diagram types,
o many diagram instances.

Problem statement
.. but the existing matrix tools
do not support grouping on the axis
(hierarchical axis). These tools represent only plane lists of objects
instances of two user-selected types in the repository.
This is a crucial limitation, since it doesnt allow working
with large amount of data;
long lists cannot be conceived by human brain

Research-based support: Comparison of the representation
power of matrix and node-link diagrams
Ghoniem et al. [7] showed that matrices outperform node-link
diagrams for large or dense graphs in several low-level reading
tasks, except path finding.
This difference is supported by user study experiments conducted by
Keller et al., as they found that node-link diagrams offer better visual
representation for small, uncomplicated entities, but they are a
complex form of representation for large systems and propagation
across systems [8]

Implementation in public administration
The GOV-Master is a version of the ORG-Master, which complies with the
federal, regional and local authorities modeling methodology developed
by the authors of this research.
The three aspects of GOV-Master framework (a version of ORG-Master)
implementation include:
- administrative regulations,
- structure and function optimization,
- performance management.
More than 10 administrative regulations have been developed for the
Federal Migration Agency, Federal Registration Agency, Federal Agency for
Physical Culture and Sport, etc.
City enterprise architecture modeling (Moscow) for:
- informatization planning
- requirements analysis
- inter-organizational process redesign

Conclusions
Diagrams are good for knowledge elicitation, one-view
structuring and dissemination.
Matrices are good for complex large-scale knowledge
structuring and on the fly analysis
Advantages of the suggested matrix editing technology:
provides big picture (context) and details simultaneously;
combine model development with model exploration and
analysis (e.g. gap analysis: highlighted elements without
links in a matrix);
compactness;
large amount of information can be clearly arranged and
manipulated at once.
