TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Hohnel, Wolfgang A1 - Krahl, Daniela A1 - Schreiber, Dirk T1 - Lessons Learned in Reference Modeling T2 - Fettke, Loos (Eds.): Reference Modeling for Business Systems Analysis N2 - A reference model is always developed in order to support a specific purpose. The development environment is setting the broader context. Limitations are not only set by size and experience of the modeler team or by budget and time constraints. The intended usage scenario also defines the fundamental contour of a reference model. During the practical work with reference models, a range of key issues has come up to increase the suitability of reference models for daily use. As the result of many projects, the authors have summarized the key issues and formulated critical success factors for reference modeling projects.
