Les, all,
I don't know if the "Hilda" project offers anything useful to you?

"The High Level Domain Mapping project is set to undertake a synthesis
study of education institutions’ high-level functions taking account of
more detailed and process mapping activities which have been carried out
to date, and present these findings to the JISC in order to inform the
planning of future work in the area."...
