Should there be an official, standard, reference model 'car'?
For 'car' perhaps not, but there are car types or body styles. I don't know if they are official, but they are at least de facto and which manufacturers seem to follow them, i.e.:
- - Sedan
- - Pickup Truck
- - Minivan
- - etc...
Each have specific sets of attributes. So by that analogy, you could have standardized system types where, like for cars, each have a specific sets of attributes. Ex:
- - Desktop
- - Server
- - Mobile
- - etc...
