131004 - his schedule to arrive either on 000720 to address the team at SRI, or
131005 - he can stay over to visit SRI on 000727.  Called and left message

131007 - Eugene Kim. ref SDS 0 2480  We will meet sometime during his stay in
131008 - the Bay Area, for a demonstration of SDS, and will, also, try to meet
131009 - with Morris at Intel.  Jack and Howard can join that meeting, or make
131010 - separate arrangements to entertain Cliff during his stay in Palo Alto,
131011 - since that is close to Cliff's meeting at Xerox.  During the call
131012 - today Cliff asked about the distinction between information and
131013 - knowledge.  The discussion led to review of semiotics, which covers
131014 - communication, meaning and inference, which is another word for

131410 - then, he has meetings with Xerox in Palo Alto on 000722 and 000724.

131431 - Cliff related having received a long letter from John Deneen on
131432 - 000509, discussing the SRI project, and providing a bunch of links,
131433 - but the letter did not actually ask or propose any action.  Cliff
131434 - responded to John, and got another long letter, but still no request
131435 - for Cliff to do anything.  Based on John's letters, Cliff would like
131436 - to address the SRI team, if there is interest in hearing about the
131437 - LANL KM program, and how it might relate to Doug's DKR effort.
131439 -  ..
131440 - We reviewed KM briefly, and some history of the SRI team, beginning on
131441 - 000324 when Lee Iverson with SRI explained difficulties other projects
131442 - are having developing specific solutions. ref SDS 14 4877   On 000406

131466 - understanding KM, after 5 months of collaboration. ref SDS 23 5033  On
