The Interactive Knowledge Stack will be a layered set of soft- ware components and specifications with the goal to improve the interaction with knowledge objects of CMSs by using Semantic Web technologies. In contrast to projects that bench- marked rather technical aspects of CMSs, we propose a model that evaluates CMSs consis- tently from the business perspective down to the technology layer. This approach is based on IT alignment theory that states that higher degrees of fit between business needs and IT result in increased business performance. Accordingly, IT executives of organizations that provide CMSs and IT executives2 of organizations that use CMSs as well as CMS develop- ers are taken into account covering both business and technical aspects. The deliverable is structured as follows. First, we introduce the IKS project and pose relevant research questions that the IKS benchmark model for CMSs must address. Then, related work on CMS benchmarks, semantic technologies and applications is discussed from which shortcomings of exiting benchmarks are derived and implications for the design of the IKS benchmark model are drawn. Afterwards, we present the IKS benchmark model for CMSs, which describes a study-driven and experiment-driven approach to compare CMSs. Consis- tent with the model, questionnaire items for the study targeted at IT executives of CMS cus- tomer and provider organizations and implementation tasks for the experiment targeted at CMS developers are provided. Finally, we conclude this deliverable by a summary and an outlook on the next steps within the IKS project.
