Method for structuring unstructured domains to create value
First Claim
1. A method of structuring contents of an unstructured domain so as to impart value to the domain, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a plurality of elements of information associated with an unstructured domain;
developing an initial domain model for utilizing the plurality of elements of information associated with the domain to create value;
developing an estimate of costs associated with developing a knowledge map cataloging and describing at least some of said elements of information associated with the domain, and developing an estimate of the value of said knowledge map;
comparing the estimates of costs and value and, based on said comparison, performing at least one of the steps of;
storing and maintaining said model and said plurality of elements of information; and
developing and storing the knowledge map so as to add structure and impart value to said domain.

Abstract
A method managing knowledge to impart value comprises the steps of developing a domain model from knowledge in an unstructured domain, determining whether there is value in further developing the initial domain model to include a knowledge map and, if so, developing and implementing the knowledge map, and determining whether there is value in further developing the knowledge to include a knowledge clearinghouse and, if so, developing an implementing the knowledge clearinghouse. Certain embodiments may include the additional steps of developing and implementing a knowledge network. The step of developing the initial domain model may comprise the steps of defining organizational and content scopes relevant to the unstructured domain, and identifying entities and processes subject to benefit from structuring of the knowledge. This step may additionally comprise the step of conducting a cost/benefit analysis of the initial domain model based on the organizational and content scopes and identified benefited entities and processes.
