Most RIM work is not too consistent, but the idea is to model
the system/environment at such as level as to capture the core
entities/classes and relationships. More specific extensions
and/or instances can then be generated from that.

Reference models can be very detailed, like HL7:

infostand_chdm_e_InfoModel.pdf>

and also apply to info architectures, like the risk mgt ORCHESTRA  
framework:
