Enterprises  increasingly  jointly  participate  in servicevalue webs.  They do so because enterprises can then offer services they could not offer on their own.  In earlier work, we have developed the e³ value methodology to conceptually model such networks, as a design task.  This paper proposes an approach to semi-automatically generate such service value networks based on service profiles and a stated consumer need. To this end, we apply skeleton design and hierarchical configuration techniques. The configuration process is illustrated by a case study in the field of intellectual property right clearing.

Firstly, the authors lift e³ value to the industry level, that is to model the music industry, rather than just an individual business case as e³ value is normally used for. Secondly, they employ the skeleton to generate e³ value instance models for specific business cases.
