I think there *might* actually be better terms than "reference model".
The term "information model" is heavily used in some communities, and
has a Wikipedia entry!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_model
"An information model is an abstract but formal representation of
entities including their properties, relationships and the operations
that can be performed on them."
I could live with that definition... (except DCAM entities have no
operations).
