through reuse of confirmed domain knowledge and systems design. Paradoxically, however, development and, in
particular, reuse of reference models has been rather limited both in practice and academia. In this paper, we
develop the notion of open reference models based on analogies to free and open source software development. We
show how “openness” of reference models affects their development and use, and outline strategic options for a first
open reference modelling initiative. Our findings suggest that community-driven collaborative modelling projects
resolve the current paradox of reference model research and practice.
