Abstract
A Method and computer implemented system may be used to value knowledge-based property such as documents, databases, spreadsheets or research and development related information or studies. Intangible property may be valued by analyzing stored data representing accesses by users to a medium containing a copy of the knowledge-based property, estimating a pattern of the accesses by users to the medium containing the copy of the knowledge-based property using a statistical model, and assigning a value to the knowledge-based property based on the pattern. The data may comprise the total number of times the copy of the knowledge-based property has been accessed and a time-date stamp for each access event. The assigned values for a plurality of knowledge-based properties may then be used as bases for making decisions such as apportioning budget resources among tasks or projects related to the knowledge-based properties or apportioning availability of limited computer resources for storing shared documents.
