Over the years, a number of approaches have been proposed on description systems and software in terms multiple views represented by models. This modelling branch, so-called multi-view system modelling, praises differentiated complex scientific body knowledge. With this study, we aimed at identifying, classifying, evaluating existing solutions for systems. To end, conducted systematic literature review state art related to topic. More specifically, selected analysed 40 research studies among over 8600 entries. We defined taxonomy characterising applied it studies. Lastly, discussed data extracted from From data, made several observations, which: (i) there is no uniformity nor agreement terminology when comes artefact types, (ii) not evaluated industrial settings (iii) lack support semantic consistency management community does appear consider as priority. The study results provide an exhaustive overview useful both researchers practitioners.
