What is Reference Model

1.

A reference model is a model representing a class of domains, e.g. a reference model for production planning and control systems. It is a conceptual framework or blueprint for system’s development. Learn more in: Unified Modeling Language 2.0

2.

A reference model presents a kind of model patterns for a certain class of aspects. It can be used to derive a specific model or for purpose of comparison. Comparing a specific model of HIS (or subsystem) with a reference model congruencies and differences may be stated and used for planning and direction of HIS.

3.

A reference model describes both types of entities or domains and their relationships, including a description of the problem that it solves, and the concerns of the stakeholders who need the problem to be solved. A reference model is intended to promote understanding of a class of problems, not to provide specific solutions for those problems, being technology agnostic. In addition, a reference model provides a more complete view of, or templates for, the overall setup and its domain implementation.

A model based on best practices and research that serves a comparator against which to evaluate a model under assessment. Learn more in: The Adoption and Transformation of Capability Maturity Models in Government

A formal model in the form of an extended automaton used as a customized recommendation repository for an specific individual physical exercise. Learn more in: Functional Software Prototypes for Defining and Monitoring Individual Exercise Program

7.

An abstract representation of the entities and relations within a problem space; it forms the conceptual basis to derive more concrete models from which an implementation can be developed. Learn more in: Semantic Web and Adaptivity: Towards a New Model
