This error typically arises when you are trying to use a virtual model that requires a reference to an underlying data model, but that reference has not been properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Reference Model: The virtual model you are trying to use does not have a defined reference model. This can happen if the configuration for the virtual model was not completed correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the Enterprise Search or the specific virtual model, such as missing or incorrect settings.
