8 Technical Reference Model
8.1 Introduction
The Technical Reference Model (TRM) (Figure 8-1) is a component-driven, technical
framework categorising the standards and technologies to support and enable the delivery of
Service Components and capabilities. It also unifies existing agency TRMs and whole-ofgovernment
guidance by providing a foundation to advance the re-use and standardisation of
technology and Service Components from a government-wide perspective.
Aligning agency capital investments to the TRM leverages a common, standardised
vocabulary, allowing interagency discovery, collaboration and interoperability. Agencies and
the Australian Government will benefit from economies of scale by identifying and re-using the
best solutions and technologies to support their business functions, mission and target
architecture.
