The National Reference Models for EA are part of the national EA framework. They provide reference components for various EA domains, accelerating the development of EA domain components within entities. The DGA guideline for building EA reference models describes for each domain: the full component picture, detailed components, and guidance for application.
Entities use reference models as a key input when developing target state or conducting benchmarks. All six domain reference models should be documented in a single deliverable covering the full component breakdown and detail for each domain.
