I wonder do we really need this? If we examine the situation a little closer then reasons for variability appears.

A few examples: 

  Legislation forces different point of views across border and inside countries.

 

MW: This means of course that you really mean different things in those different circumstances, so they should not be the same.

 

  Product: there a quite a few work perspective that view Product differently from different point-of-view and so it is likely to be. The need for specialization of work perspectives seems to be inevitable in larger organizations.

 ... more than 10+ major reasons for large scale variability can easily be found.

 

MW: Yes. In my book “Developing High Quality Data Models” I identify a number of these. But that just means that these are different things, not the same.

 

MW: Moral, first identify what is the same/different, then apply the above.

 

Regards
