		repository.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>A reference model represents a line of business or business
		  typology.</ListItem>

      <Paragraph>The mandatory sessions related to business models will be
		explained.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Because all functionality related to a reference model is
		included in a project model, only the creation of a project model will be
		described. Almost every session that is discussed has its counterpart in the
		reference model business object. The sessions can be started by carrying out
		the same steps as described in the project model. Some functionality only
		applies to project models. If this is the case, it will be stated in the text
		describing the project model specific sessions.</Paragraph>
