Abstract (English)

The INKASS project addresses the area that is at the intersection of Knowledge Management and Electronic Commerce. This area refers to the trade of explicit and implicit knowledge for specific needs at an inter-organisational level, addressing the opportunities and risks found in the purchase and selling of knowledge at the business-to-business environment. The INKASS project aims at the development of an Internet-based marketplace of knowledge assets that will be targeted at European SMEs and their knowledge needs in the areas of professional services for business management and engineering. The project result will be a total solution for knowledge trading, which integrates both technological and non-technical elements (business models, roles, processes and revenue models).
