Purpose: of this paper is to introduce modelling methodology that would be usable for building of virtual organisations. Nowadays this concept is widely accepted both in academic and industry community. However, slow implementation in practise causes inability to reach expected advantages. One of the main reasons is the lack of such systems that would support cooperation and integration in accordance with principles of virtual organisation. Design/methodology/approach: Modelling as a research and development method is requirement to creation of adequate supporting systems. Rationale reference models will contribute to mistakes elimination, reduction of implementation time and total costs decreasing during whole lifecycle of the integrated systems. This approach requires unified modelling methodology. Findings: This Frame system is describe in the paper for virtual organisation modelling VO-PLM (Virtual Organisation supported by Product Lifecycle Management). This system describes theoretical starting points, way to formalization, structure, content and terminology of future models. Methodology is based on unified modelling language UML concerning principles of system decomposition, object-oriented modelling and required expandability. Research limitations/implications: There is important to note, that UML as a language provides set of symbols and rules for their notation, but not uniquely determined methods. Consequently, in next solution there is necessary to pay attention to this question. GRAPPLE (Guidelines for Rapid APPLication Engineering) could be used as a source complex methodology. The Frame system VO-PLM will unify modelling methodology which is necessary for research continuity, design, development and implementation of supporting software systems. Originality/value: Paper refers to results of integrated applied research at the Department of Manufacturing Systems STU in Bratislava. Authors have analysed actual outcomes of the important European projects in the field of virtual organisation modelling and business modelling.
