Abstract
This paper outlines a framework for building a Generic Reusable Business Object Model (GRBOM) and its application in BT. A GRBOM is a conceptual model which accurately specifies the business knowledge in the form of an object-oriented model. It captures the core business processes and business objects of a particular domain within an industry independent of any application development. A GRBOM can be reused in multiple projects either within the same organisation who built the model or by other organisations within different industrial sectors.
