Abstract

Referenzmodelle sind ein zentraler Untersuchungsgegenstand der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Ihre Entwicklung ist nicht nur wissenschaftlich reizvoll, sie stellen gleichzeitig eine wirksame Unterstützung der Praxis in Aussicht. Diesen Verheißungen zum Trotz verlief die Entwicklung und - vor allem - Verbreitung wissenschaftlich fundierter Referenzmodelle bisher eher zurückhaltend. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden zunächst Gründe für den bisher unzureichenden Erfolg von Referenzmodellen analysiert. Anschließend wird - inspiriert durch den Erfolg von Open-Source-Software - untersucht, ob die gemeinschaftliche Entwicklung offener Referenzmodelle geeignet ist, die Erstellung und Verbreitung solcher Modelle nachhaltig zu fördern. Dazu rekonstruiert dieser Beitrag wesentliche Zusammenhänge der community-basierten Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software und stellt Überlegungen an, inwieweit die ermittelten Charakteristika im Kontext offener Referenzmodelle wirksam sein könnten. Im Anschluss daran werden spezifische Verheißungen und Anforderungen der Entwicklung offener Referenzmodelle diskutiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden ein Bezugsrahmen zur Entwicklung und Bewertung von Strategien zur Etablierung offener Referenzmodelle sowie ein korrespondierendes Vorgehensmodell entworfen. Anschließend werden einige exemplarisch ausgewählte Optionen für die Entwicklung offener Referenzmodelle anhand der im Bezugsrahmen enthaltenen Kriterien evaluiert. Aus dem Alternativenvergleich wird ein Vorschlag zur Durchführung einschlägiger Projekte entwickelt. Dieser Beitrag ist eine überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung von [FrSK07].
