Preamble to the "Reference Model for the Orchestra Architecture (RM-OA)" This document specifies the Reference Model for the ORCHESTRA Architecture (RM-OA). It is an extension of the OGC Reference Model and contains a specification framework for the design of geospatial service-oriented architectures and service networks. The RM-OA comprises the generic aspects of service-oriented architectures, i.e., those aspects that are independent of the risk management domain and thus applicable to other application domains. The ORCHESTRA Architecture is a platform-neutral (abstract) specification of the informational and functional aspects of service networks taking into account and evolving out of architectural standards and service specifications of ISO, OGC, W3C and OASIS. The target audience of the RM-OA comprise system architects, information modellers and system developers. The present V2 of the RM-OA extends V1 (OGC 05-107) in the following points: - inclusion of service meta-modelling into the ORCHESTRA Meta-model leading to a coherent meta-model for feature, interface and service types as an extension of the General Feature Model - update and refinement of the service descriptions - preliminary specification of the engineering and technology viewpoint - conceptual meta-information model (annex A3) - rules for the specification of meta-information models (annex B1) For the ORCHESTRA abstract service specifications see http://www.eu-orchestra.org .
