The Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) consists of a series of eight main components, as shown in figure 1:
 
* ''Generic Enterprise Reference Architecture (GERA)'' : Defines the enterprise related generic concepts recommended for use in enterprise integration projects. These concepts include enterprise systems life cycle; business process modellingmodeling; modellingmodeling languages for different users of the architecture (business users, system designers, IT modellingmodeling specialists, others); integrated model representation in different model views.
 
* ''Generic Enterprise Engineering Methodologies (GEEM)'' : Describe the generic processes of enterprise integration. These methodologies may be described in terms of process models with detailed instruction for each step of the integration process.
 
* ''Generic Enterprise ModellingModeling Languages (GEML)'' : Define the generic constructs (building blocks) for enterprise modellingmodeling adapted to the different needs of people creating and using enterprise models.
 
* ''Generic Enterprise ModellingModeling Tools (GEMT)'' : Define the generic implementation of enterprise-integration methodologies and modellingmodeling languages and other support for creation and use of enterprise models.
 
* ''Enterprise Models (EM)'' : Represents the enterprise operation. These models will be represented using generic modellingmodeling language constructs.
 
* ''Ontological Theories (OT)'' : Formalise the most generic aspects of enterprise-related concepts in terms of essential properties and axioms.
 
* ''Generic Enterprise Models (GEMs)'' : Identify reference models (partial models) which capture concepts common to many enterprises. GEMs will be used in enterprise modellingmodeling to increase modellingmodeling process efficiency.
 
* ''Generic Modules (GMs)'' : Identify generally applicable products to be employed in enterprise integration (e.g. tools, integrating infrastructures, others.).
