240904 -
240905 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jack Park responding to a letter from Joe
240906 - Williams, which comments on ref DIP 6 0001 commending Jack's work on
240907 - an architecture in his letter on 000623, ref SDS 22 9900, following
240908 - up our discussion on 000627. ref SDS 25 0001
240910 -  ..
240911 - Jack discusses using DKR for collaboration function highlighted in his
240912 - letter on 000623 explaining an architecture.  Jack's letter initially
240913 - cites a letter from Joe Williams saying in part...
240914 -
240915 -              I think Jack is absolutely right on this - the original
240916 -              never gets changed.  I would say we transcode the
240917 -              information into what is called 'canonical XML' for use
240918 -              by collaborators.  Esstentially this means we forget
240919 -              style and just store and map content.  A standard or user
240920 -              specified style is added back when the information is
240921 -              used. ref DRT 1 0001
240923 -  ..
240924 - Jack then comments on Joe's remarks...
240926 -               ..
240927 -              For kicks, add *xml* to the search.
240929 -               ..
240930 -              Yup, don't touch original manuscripts.  Just start a
240931 -              dialog on some particular aspect of some particular
240932 -              manuscript (here, I am using *manuscript* as a proxy for
240933 -              the ever-present *document*).  This is where I think
240934 -              Eric's vision on IBIS is really important  (one of the
240935 -              web links to gIbis now appears to be dead, so perhaps we
240936 -              are on our own doing an Ibis implementation).  As another
240937 -              view of Ibis, do a google on *argumentation*. ref DRT 1
240938 -              7663
240940 -  ..
240941 - He calls this "scholarly argument" in his letter today, explaining
240942 - don't touch original manuscripts.  The DKR contains separate and
240943 - independent commentary, analysis, and research on issues presented in
240944 - the documents, and linked to specific issues, which the team plans to
240945 - manage with IBIS methods. ref DRT 1 X78G
240946 -
240947 -     [On 060129 Jeff Conklin developed IBIS; he introduced himself at
240948 -     an event for Doug Engelbart's 81st birthday at Stanford.
240949 -     ref SDS 36 7H7G
240951 -  ..
240952 - On 000505 IBIS was noted in v0.5 of Eric's specs. ref SDS 12 2650 This
240953 - method has been supported consistently, most recently on 000622 by
240954 - Eugene explaining the advantage of adding catagories to Augment as a
240955 - way to generate knowledge. ref SDS 21 6204   On 000614 Eric advocated
240956 - IBIS again to solve engineering management issues for Wiki.
240957 - ref SDS 16 4939
240959 -  ..
240960 - On 000218 challenges using IBIS were cited, ref SDS 7 7050, which
240961 - have not been addressed by any subsequent proposal to adopt this
240962 - method.

240966 - 1-sided Commentary Not Codified for Machine Inferencable Form
240967 - SDS Record on Internet Example Powerful Process Scholarly Argument     DKR Environment
240968 - Scholarly Argument DKR Environment Shown by SDS Records on Internet
240969 -
240970 - Jack does not discuss the core idea in the letter to Mary Keeler,
240971 - ref DIP 5 0001, on 000624, ref SDS 23 0001, explaining the importance
240972 - of capturing and organizing "experience" in knowledge formation, and
240973 - requirements for common storage to correlate contextual diversity that
240974 - occurs in information streams.
240976 -  ..
240977 - Jack notes the Communication Metrics web site for SDS records on the
240978 - Internet, though one-sided (just one commentator, not arguing with
240979 - anyone and not codified in a machine-inferencable form), illustrates a
240980 - powerful process of scholarly argumentation that builds a knowledge
240981 - base.  Rod brings to the table just one of possibly many ways to
240982 - organize that effort. ref DRT 1 NT9I
240984 -             ..
240985 -            [On 001116 Jack Park describes SDS demonstrates amazing
240986 -            Knowledge Management capability establishes existence proof
240987 -            of claims in POIMS. ref SDS 33 953G
240989 -             ..
240990 -            [On 020924 Jack exasperated by SDS records on the Internet
240991 -            that present professional analysis which conflicts with
240992 -            feelings of prospective customers who objects to using
240993 -            links in email. ref SDS 35 RN6X
240995 -  ..
240996 - POIMS explains SDS records are aimed at guiding action, using the
240997 - plan, perform, report intelligence cycle, ref OF 1 6649, and based on
240998 - figuring out what has occurred, i.e., capturing experience as personal
240999 - and organizational memory. and further refining correlations,
241000 - implications, and nuance that affect lives, time, and money.
241001 -
241002 -
241004 -  ..
241005 - Automated Subject Management for Ontology
241006 -
241007 - Jack explains the objective that as topic areas emerge, the work of
241008 - the automated mapping will be facilitated since the discussion forms a
241009 - *context* in which the mapping engine can begin its work.  As the
241010 - mapping engine adds fuel to the fire (so to speak), the dialog has the
241011 - opportunity to become even more non-linear. ref DRT 1 2052
241013 -  ..
241014 - On 000623 he initially posed the idea of creating a software program
241015 - to develop and apply subjects. ref SDS 22 2915

2414 -
241401 - We reviewed Jack's explanation of Com Metrics as a one sided argument
241402 - set out above. ref SDS 0 2870
241404 -  ..
241405 - Jack said he is aware SDS helps people use alphabet technology to
241406 - augment intelligence, as explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 3742, and so it
241407 - contains analysis of correspondence, papers, books, calls and so on.
241409 -  ..
241410 - Jack is further aware that anything anyone submits to address relevant
241411 - issues is reported in the record precisely as issued and received.
241413 -  ..
241414 - He advised that his letter, ref DRT 1 0001, this morning on KM
241415 - Architectue complaining SDS records are 1-sided, per above,
241416 - ref SDS 0 RA9I, did not set out that original sources are maintained,
241417 - as Jack recommends, also, per above, ref SDS 0 MD5V, because he wanted
241418 - Welch to explain it.  He asked me to start a "thread" on this subject.
241420 -  ..
241421 - We reviewed the letter to Mary Keeler explaining the driving force of
241422 - knowledge is personal experience, ref DIP 5 9434, sent on 000624,
241423 - ref SDS 23 1534, and cited in the letter, ref DIP 6 7200, to Jack
241424 - yesterday. ref SDS 26 0001
241426 -  ..
241427 - Additionally, the letter to Bill Bearden yesterday explains the
241428 - difference between "knowledge" in books, and derived from debate,
241429 - argument and collaboration, advocated by some, and the broader notion
241430 - that these are resources and manifestations of human cognition or
241431 - "intelligence" which technology can augment when "rigged" in a certain
241432 - way. ref SDS 26 6934
241434 -  ..
241435 - Jack feels I need to do more.
241437 -  ..
241438 - He feels the DKR team is not paying attention to these explanations,
241439 - and urged me to continue focusing a practical definition of knowledge.
241440 - He noted the correlation between POIMS "intelligence" process of plan,
241441 - perform, report, ref OF 1 6649, and classical work in AI that has a
241442 - comparable cycle of study, do, print (or something like that) showing
241443 - the underlying simplicity of an engine for knowledge.
241445 -  ..
241446 - I explained there are a lot of action items that need attention which
241447 - are not being worked.  Progress on OHS/DKR is extremely slow, because
241448 - Open Source does not have a mechanism for making assignments.
241450 -  ..
241451 - Jack feels there are a lot of personal agendas on the DKR project team
241452 - that are inhibiting progress, because people are waiting to see if
241453 - there is any money to support the effort.
241455 -  ..
241456 - Whether any money is ever made available for Doug's project, people
241457 - should be able to review basic issues of Knowledge Management, as Jack
241458 - presents today, per above. ref SDS 0 2870  Everyone seems to have
241459 - plenty of time to worry about the environment, world peace, who will
241460 - win the the Superbowl, and other things that do not directly
241461 - contribute to a solution.
241463 -  ..
241464 - Jack said he is aware of the 8 or 9 issues set out in the record on
241465 - 000623 reviewing his initial proposal for a DKR architecture.
241466 - ref SDS 22 4048
241468 -  ..
241469 - Similarly, there are a lot of questions on Eric's proposed CDS (OHS)
241470 - requirements for an OHS, reviewed on 000505. ref SDS 12 0001
241472 -  ..
241473 - Jack is disappointed that Eric has not actually produced any code to
241474 - begin implementing the requirements.
241475 -
241476 -     [On 001017 Eric notifies he is starting to produce code.

241487 -     [On 001122 Eric disappointed about difficulty creating KM, sent
241488 -     letter suggesting he start with narrow objectives, of simply
241489 -     to link. ref SDS 34 0001
241491 -  ..
241492 - Jack said that he and Howard are starting to develop a DKR.
241494 -  ..
241495 - He said it will be an open source effort that will spur work on
241496 - OHS/DKR that currently seems stymied, per above. ref SDS 0 ME57
