    Abstract

    Value network models represent an arrangement of actors, activities and objects of business value configured to satisfy a market segment’s need. As some actors might act unreliably due to unpredicted weaknesses, opportunism that threat value co-creation, monitoring becomes an issue necessary for designing a realistic value model. The research question addressed in this paper is how value network models could be designed with a preventive monitoring organization. We therefore propose a monitoring task ontology and five agency communication patterns for this end. The ontology blends principles of Multiple Agency, Speech Acts, Enterprise Ontology and Value Modeling. We demonstrate the utility of the ontology with a case-based scenario from the Smart Metering markets, and a conformity-test supported by the e3value tool. The case scenario comes from the Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament.
