abstract = {Ontologies are viewed as increasingly important tools for structuring domains of interests. In this paper we propose a referenceontology of business models using concepts from three established business model ontologies; the REA, BMO, and e3-value. Thebasic concepts in the reference ontology concern actors, resources, and the transfer of resources between actors. Most ofthe concepts in the reference ontology are taken from one of the original ontologies, but we have also introduced a numberof additional concepts, primarily related to resource transfers between business actors. The purpose of the proposed ontologyis to increase the understanding of the original ontologies as well as the relationships between them, and also to seek opportunitiesto complement and improve on them.},
