Value estimation framework for collaborative knowledge workspaces

The paper presents an implementation of EVEKS, a framework developed for value estimation within enterprise knowledge workspaces. The core of the paper is to show EVEKS in a scenario to illustrate its application in an enterprise. For that purpose, a scenario will be created and all steps of EVEKS will be executed. In the first pillar, functionalities of the software about to be deployed will be identified. Afterwards assets in the company being value drivers will be generated and set into relation to the functionalities in the second pillar. The third pillar consists of a weighting of the interrelations found in the pillar before. The last pillar performed in this section will be pillar 4, the assessment of the value of the ontology.
