Present the final model that has been agreed following the discussion with community members. You can use the layout shown in the example table below if applicable, but there is no specific required format. Just make sure it’s presented in a way that makes all parts of the model clear to someone viewing this page for the first time. The most common parts to include in the model are statements, including qualifiers and references where applicable to your schema.
