A framework is defined for ARCON reference modeling, introducing multiple modeling perspectives of: Environment characteristics, life cycle stages, and modeling intents. This novel modeling framework takes into account contributions from previous related works, mainly on enterprise modeling, and extends them further to the context of collaborative networked organizations, aiming at provision of a comprehensive environment for modeling the variety of cases of collaborative, namely the VO Breeding Environment, Virtual Organization, Professional Virtual Community, and Virtual Team.
