As part of the public lectures in electronic commerce Jaap Gordijn from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam presented the e3value methodology which has been developed by him. The e3value methodology helps the modeler to understand value flows between business partners. More information, academic work and tools around e3value can be found on the e3value website.
e3value will also be part of our upcoming project called BSopt (Business Semantics on top of Process Technology) starting 1st of March 2008. Stay tuned for more information!
