121311 -
121312 - He feels the SRI group needs to pay more attention to Welch, noting
121313 - also the need to present SDS in a way that the DKR team does not feel

121316 - Jack wants Howard to be involved as well. ref DRT 2 2107

121323 -     ref SDS 16 2838
121324 -
121325 -     This may apply computational linguistics per NSF review reported
121326 -     on 991213. ref SDS 11 3234  More recently, on 000424 Sandy Klausen
121327 -     proposed the purpose of the DKR project is to use pattern matching
121328 -     for connecting stuff on the web. ref SDS 24 4212

1216 - 1157 called Morris
1217 -
121701 - I asked Morris about what he can do to support a meeting with LANL,
121702 - even though he will be out of town.  He said he has to investigate,
121703 - but did not say he would investigate.
121704 - ..
121705 - Morris suggested getting an agenda from Cliff to disclose his
121706 - objectives.  Is the meeting on technology or business.  What should
121707 - result?
121708 -
121709 -     [On 000501 did this. ref SDS 28 3008
121710 -
121711 - Morris tried to contact Dave Vannier, per my letter this morning,
121712 - ref DIT 1 6643, but he found that Dave is moving his office today and
121713 - so is not available.  We also discussed contacting the Intel KM people
121714 - to see if any of them might like to participate in this meeting, also,
121715 - per my letter, ref DIP 8 2244, on 000427. ref SDS 27 0001  We decided
121716 - that, since Morris is out of town, it probably makes more sense to
121717 - defer a meeting at Intel, until he is available to participate. Morris
121718 - is the only logical lead at Intel on this, and so should attend any
121719 - such meeting.
