An approach to evaluate knowledge in software development context

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of knowledge capitalization that require the operations of evaluation. There have been many approaches to develop specialized procedures and techniques, aimed at assuring the highest level of knowledge quality. The method proposed in this paper is based on a corporate memory building. This memory can capitalize just knowledge evaluated using a different criteria. This method is profound enough to be able to evaluate knowledge to be preserved and that crucial knowledge reduce substantially the capitalization cost since they reduce the number of knowledge to process. Hence, update and transfer operations are much simplified.
