                  How to find variations on a found e-business model?
               • Deconstruct value model using operators:
                    – Value activity deconstruction: find ‘smaller’ value activities,
                      which can be assigned to different actors
                    – Value port deconstruction: find ports with ‘smaller’ value
                      objects
                    – Value interface deconstruction: split up interfaces with
                      ports > 2 into interfaces with fewer ports

                    – Repeat these deconstruction operators a number of times

               • Reconstruct value model
                    – Reassign newly found value activities to actors

                                       Conclusions
              • Study variations on an existing business value
                model using deconstruction operators;
              • Operators are defined on the e3-value ontology,
                which is used to represent a value model;
              • Three operators:
                   – Value activity deconstruction operator;
                   – Value port deconstruction operator;
                   – Value interface deconstruction operator.
