As networks are typically formed by heterogeneous and autonomous entities, it is natural that each member has its own set of values. As a result, the ability to quickly identify partners with compatible or common values represents an important element for the success of collaborative networks. However, tools to measure the level of alignment are lacking. Applying some soft modeling tools, this paper discusses some perspectives and criteria to measure the level of alignment among a set of members in the context of a VO breeding environment.
