One of the first business reference models ever defined was the "IMPPACT Business Reference Model" around 1990, which was the result of a research project in the [[Computer Integrated Manufacturing]] (CIM) field of the [[European Strategic Program on Research in Information Technology|ESPRIT1 programme]].<ref>W. F. Gielingh A. K. Suhm (Eds.) ''IMPPACT. Reference Model. An Approach to Integrated Product and. Process Modelling for Discrete Parts Manufacturing.'' 1991, Preface.</ref> Gielingh et al. (1933) described:

<blockquote>The IMPPACT Business Reference Model is expressed in the generic language constructs provided by [[IDEF0]]... It describes the requirements for CIM seen from a business point of view. Views modelled are manufacturing activities, real and information flow objects resource objects (information and material processing components) and organisational aspects (departments and their relations to activities and resources). The complete manufacturing system (including the production system and its management) is modelled by the IMPPACT Business Reference Model. Management covers both the planning of the production and the planning and control of this production.<ref>Wim F. Gielingh, Alexander K. Suhm, Michael Böhms (1993). ''IMPPACT Reference Model.'' Springer {{ISBN |3540561501}} p.37.</ref></blockquote>

The term IMPPACT stood for Integrated Manufacturing of Products and Processes using Advanced Computer Technologies Furthermore, in its framework were incorporated [[CIMOSA]] as reference model,<ref>Gielingh & Suhm (1991, p. 10)</ref> [[NIAM]] for information modelling,<ref>Gielingh & Suhm (1991, p. 15)</ref> and the data modeling language [[EXPRESS (data modeling language)|EXPRESS]] for information structure implementation.<ref>Gielingh & Suhm (1991, p. 31)</ref>

In the 1990s, business reference models were hardly an item. An exception was a 1991 book about [[IT management]], which mentioned that the [[Kodak]] management had developed a business reference model 10 years earlier.<ref>Gerard H. Gaynor (1991). ''Achieving the Competitive Edge Through Integrated Technology Management''. p. 259.</ref> A 1996 manual of the [[SAP R/3]] enterprise resource planning software stipulated the existence on the business reference model of the R/3 System.<ref>Rüdiger Buck-Emden, Jurgen Galimow, SAP AG. (1996). ''SAP R/3 System: A Client/server Technology'' Addison-Wesley.</ref> However, in the 1990s there was a significant development of reference models in related fields, which, resulted in the developments of [[Integrated business planning]], the [[Open System Environment Reference Model]], the [[Workflow Reference Model]], [[TOGAF]] and the [[Zachman Framework]].

In the new millennium business reference models started emerging in several fields from [[network management system]]s,<ref>Joan Serrat, Alex Galis (2003). ''Deploying and Managing IP Over WDM Networks''. pp. 89-121.</ref> and [[E-business]],<ref name="MA00">Daniel A. Menascé, Virgilio A. F. Almeida (2000). ''Scaling for E-business: Technologies, Models, Performance, and Capacity Planning.'' Prentice Hall. {{ISBN |0130863289}}</ref> to the US Federal government. The US Federal government published it's "Business Reference Model", Version 1.0 in February 2002.<ref>Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office (2002). ''The Business Reference Model, Version 1.0''.</ref> Related developments in this decade were the development of the [[Treasury Enterprise Architecture Framework]], and the [[OASIS SOA Reference Model]].
