A '''reference model''' is a model of models that makes model for model in the minsitry of models.in [[systems engineering|systems]], [[enterprise engineering|enterprise]], and [[software engineering]] is an abstract framework or ___domain-specific ontology consisting of an interlinked set of clearly defined concepts produced by an expert or body of experts in order to encourage clear communication. A reference model can represent the component parts of any consistent idea, from business functions to system components, as long as it represents a complete set. This frame of reference can then be used to communicate ideas clearly among members of the same community.

Reference models are often illustrated as a set of concepts with some indication of the relationships between the concepts.
