Description: The designer should label elements as short and as precise as possible. Labels should be placed close to (e.g., data objects) or inside (e.g., activities) notation elements. The designer should ensure a consistent labeling style among all artifacts. Please find further guidelines on labeling for elements within fragments and OLCs on the respective pages.

Description: Except for data objects in fragments, the designer should avoid duplicate elements within one artifact.
