Abstract
The reference model described in this paper is a conceptual framework with which we hope to characterize and categorize the field of process technology. We have chosen to partition and decompose the domain in question into a set of defined, related sub-fields. The reference model allows discussion of both the component concepts and the many relationships that exist between those concepts. From a practical perspective, the model also potentially provides a structure through which process technology information and assets can be rapidly retrieved. Currently this model is a work-in-progress. It is hoped that feedback from the process-technology community will help both with its organizational structure and its content.
