We are beginning to work on developing a Reference Model for ILM2.0.  The objectives and resources are being discussed in the blog area.

The "Implementation Practices Framework" and similar reference models are specific to practice areas such as these:
  • Compliance
  • Litigation Support
  • Retention Management
  • Risk Management and Security
  • Long-term Retention and Preservation (digital archive)
  • Lines of Business such as legal, purchasing, manufacturing, finance, etc.
  • Collaborative Service areas

See also the Glossary and key definitional documents that we have published. 


What is a Reference Model

A Reference model is a framework for understanding significant relationships among the entities of some environment, and for the development of consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment.  A reference model is based on a small number of unifying concepts is an abstraction of the key concepts, their relationships, and their interfaces both to each other and to the external environment may be used as a basis for education and explaining standards to a non-specialist.

The Implementation Practices Framework: 


The logic of ILM2.0 from an implementation perspective is a holistic, workflow-based approach using sound service management principles. 




From this perspective, ILM2.0 provides a key component to Enterprise Information Management focused on implementation practices and control of the datacenter infrastructure.  ILM2.0 provides the requirements and service management methods for "information-centric management," one of the 6 key legs of enterprise information management as the MIKE2.0 community defines it.
