One national reference model per EA domain
The National Reference Models for Enterprise Architecture are part of the National Enterprise Architecture Framework. Issued by the Digital Government Authority, they provide reference components for each of the six domains and help entities speed up the build-out of their own EA components.

The reference models were built after a review of a number of global and national frameworks, including FEAF V2.0 and TOGAF 10, together with a wide read of reference capabilities across government entities in the Kingdom. The aim is a mature, integrated model that keeps pace with global practice. An entity can adopt it as is or adjust it to fit its own nature and direction.
Entities use the reference model for each domain as a primary input when designing the future state or benchmarking against peers. The full set is detailed in the National Reference Models for Enterprise Architecture document, which sets out the overall landscape, the component details, and the application guidance for each domain.
