Modeling Competences in Service-Oriented Virtual Organization Breeding Environments

Streszczenie

Support for organization competences is an important function of Virtual Organization Breeding Environments (VOBEs), allowing VOBE members to publish and consult about the activities they may perform. In Service-Oriented VOBEs (SOVOBEs), organized systematically around the concept of services, existing competence models should be extended to support the service-orientation of SOVOBEs. In this paper, a refinement of the 4-C competence model is presented. The main enhancements consist of 1) the redefinition of the concept of a service as regards competences 2) a clear distinction of the relations between activities, services, capabilities and competences, and 3) the introduction of contextual capabilities.
