Prime Reference
A landscape of reusable business knowledge.
Prime Reference is organized across three dimensions. Their intersections make knowledge reusable for a defined problem without turning source documents into the product.
Reference landscape
Three dimensions. One relevant scope.
A Knowledge Scope is a governed selection through the landscape—not a copy of the cube.
Information
General structures for the information organizations need to understand and operate.
Industry
Knowledge that gives general patterns the meaning and constraints of an industry context.
Business areas
Reusable business logic for what an organization needs to be able to do.
Start with a familiar area. Then see the information, industry knowledge and adjacent business logic connected to it.
Prime Arch Ontology
A shared semantic structure.
Published Prime Reference is mapped to the governed Prime Arch ontology. It gives objects and relationships consistent meaning across the reference landscape.
Clearview Cinemas
See the reference in a living example.
Clearview Cinemas is a governed fictional company. It gives general functions, information and rules a concrete context without exposing a customer's protected reality.
Clearview Cinemas is not a customer story and is not a representation of the historical company with the same name.Explore Clearview Cinemas
