Problem

People want to apply proven practice to solve problems that they are facing within their own contexts but have difficulty finding representations of practice that are relevant and usable.

Context

This pattern only works when you have a coherent and mature collection of relatively complete representations from the domain of interest.

Solution

First, define the problem. Second, scaffold people in finding a starting point within the collection and the process for identifying pathwaysthrough the collection to solve the problem.

Related Patterns

list other patterns related to this one, under categories such as component, assisting, conflicting, uses this, etc.

A collection of representations may be documented by:

1. Telling a story

2. Abstraction

Notes, Links and References

Liabilities, potential risks, extensions, expected side-effects

"Starting point" -> finding the correct level of solution is important when a pattern collection consists of patterns that describe solutions that range from the macro to micro.
