The overall ambition of the NEXOF-RA project is to build a Reference Architecture for the NESSI Open Framework - ranging from the infrastructure up to the interfaces with the end users - leveraging research in the area of service-based systems to consolidate and trigger innovation in service oriented economies.

The NEXOF Reference Architecture is composed of three main elements: architectural Guidelines and Principles, the Reference Model, and the Reference Specifications. The Reference Specifications element in turn is composed of three elements: the Pattern Ensemble, The Standards Catalogue, the Components Catalogue, while the Reference Model contains also the Glossary.
