6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the use parameters comprise one or more of a category of the knowledge artifact, a sub-category of the knowledge artifact, a type of the knowledge artifact, a sub-type of the knowledge artifact, a scope of the knowledge artifact, a reuse factor of the knowledge artifact, a number of persons, or an effectiveness factor of the knowledge artifact.
5. A knowledge artifact analysis apparatus, comprising: at least one processor; and memory coupled to the at least one processor which is configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory comprising: obtaining one or more values for a plurality of use parameters for each of a plurality of knowledge artifacts, wherein the knowledge artifacts are each a memorialization of information in a retrievable format; generating one or more parameter scores based on one or more of the one or more values for each of the plurality of use parameters, for each of the plurality of knowledge artifacts, wherein the one or more parameter scores are selected from a reuse score, an effectiveness score, a base score, or a score output; generating a knowledge index value based at least in part on the one or more parameter scores, wherein the knowledge index value is a relative value indicative of how the plurality of knowledge artifacts were used during the project; and outputting one or more of the one or more of the parameter scores or the knowledge index value.
