Reference Model Maintenance Based On ERP System Implementations
Abstract
Conceptual reference models in the narrow sense are de- tailed descriptions of information processes in commercial domains such as retail, manufacturing, etc. They serve many usages such as business process reengineering, information systems development or business software selection. Hence, it is necessary that reference models offer the latest domain knowledge. Al-though there is much literature on the initial reference model creation, hardly anything has been said about the maintenance of reference models. This paper in- troduces a procedure model for updating reference models with regard to the implicit knowledge that is implemented in ERP software. The model uses the domain-specific know- how acquired by software development companies. Based on implemented ERP functionality, the procedure model de- rives domain practices for the maintenance of the reference model.
