Abstract

This chapter discusses the creation of objective measures for the comparison of different types of knowledge repositories (KR) to enhance the linkage between knowledge management and strategic e-business with a specific focus on knowledge marketplaces. Knowledge repositories proliferate yet our ability to objectively assess the value and suitability of a given knowledge repository for a given task has much remained in the realm of trial and error. Knowledge marketplaces can help organizations leverage the wealth of information gathered through e-business activities. The field of knowledge management has grown significantly over the past decade yet we are lacking formal methods through which knowledge management resources can be measured. In order to facilitate such measures, and enable more effective use of knowledge marketplaces, we must first deal with comparing the value of different types of knowledge in an organizational setting and how such value is measured in and reflected by knowledge repositories. In this chapter we present the background and definition of the problem, and introduce an approach based on semantic calculus and set theory to create a theory of knowledge measurement. We then discuss how a theory of knowledge measurement (TKM) can be applied to knowledge marketplaces improving the linkage between knowledge management and strategic e-business.
