1. "This book represents a momentous and courageous assault on the exceedingly difficult problem of systematically organizing the semantics of knowledge in computer systems for use in improving business competitiveness. The authors meticulously and systematically define knowledge and a knowledge architecture with the view to its application to business processes and information architecture. It is a must for students of information systems and theory, and should shed considerable light on the dimensions of expert knowledge and business processes to managers and executives of businesses who are interested in knowledge management."

2. "Knowledge Reuse and Agile Processes: Catalysts for Innovation shows how business processes could be represented as patterns for exploitation of rapidly evolving knowledge overcoming the difficulties associated with the static nature of knowledge embedded in Expert Systems. This is the pivotal book for anybody concerned with understanding the nature of the global knowledge economy in which we now live, the business transformations that are needed to adapt to this economy, and especially the leveraging and the reuse of corporate knowledge assets to gain major strategic advantage over competitors."

3. "This much awaited book fills a gap in our how innovative agile processes can be utilized by organizations, large and small, to gain major strategic advantages. The deployment of such processes can drastically enhance the ability to reuse knowledge of diverse types, as well as sharpen the capability of organizations to quickly adapt to rapidly evolving market realities. As organizations become increasingly globalized, this book acquires added importance. If you need one pivotal book in this area, this is the one you should go for."
