1811 - Summary/Objective
1812 -
181201 - Follow up ref SDS 25 0000, ref SDS 21 0000.
181202 -
181203 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Cliff responding to my letter,
181204 - ref DIP 3 0001 on 000922.
181205 -
181206 - Cliff does not address following points...
181207 -
181208 -    1.  letter to Cliff, ref DIP 2 0001, submtting ideas for keeping
181209 -        SDS a stable technology, ref SDS 18 0001, which aligns with
181210 -        letter to Doug's DKR team on 000921. ref SDS 24 2V5F
181211 -
181212 -    2.  SDS saves time and money, ref DRP 1 6172, as reported by USACE
181213 -        on 970418. ref SDS 4 3368
181214 -
181215 - Cliff says...
181216 -    ..
181217 -    He is looking at protocols like RDF/RDF Schema and OIL, and
181218 -    mathematical models similar to conceptual graphs. ref DRT 1 006O
181219 -
181220 -    He will submit a copy of his research when available.
181221 -    ..
181222 -    Cliff feels SDS is an excellent design for a wide variety of
181223 -    KM tasks, and regrets that LANL cannot use SDS in its current
181224 -    implementation.  He would like SDS implemented within a broader
181225 -    (OHS?) tool, perhaps involving the kinds of systems he reports
181226 -    today.  Cliff says that LANL might be able to support that work,
181227 -    perhaps in conjunction with SRI, or some other consortium.
181228 -    ref DRT 1 YO6H
181229 -
181230 -    This seems to support the proposal for a consortium submitted to
181231 -    LANL on 000731. ref SDS 17 0900
181232 -
181233 -    Cliff does not set out the basis for an OHS, e.g., scope, nor cite
181234 -    work underway anywhere in the world that is making progress on this
181235 -    objective.  On 000324 SRI reported research showing all other KM
181236 -    projects have failed. ref SDS 9 4877
181237 -
181238 -       [On 000926 SDS remarkable program. ref SDS 26 IP7F
181239 -
181240 -       [On 001017 Pat Lincoln at SRI reported SDS is the only
181241 -       capability available for KM. ref SDS 31 OL9N
181242 -
181243 -       [On 001025 received OHS Laundh Plan from Doug Engelbart at SRI.
181244 -       ref SDS 32 G3W8
181245 -
181246 -       [On 001027 Doug commented favorably on SDS. ref SDS 33 XV6F
181247 -
181248 -       [On 001126 Henry van Eykan says SDS accomplishes KM. ref SDS 34
181249 -       1V6O
181250 -
181251 -       [On 001130 Jack Park reports SDS has the right design for the
181252 -       structure of knowledge management and the interface that makes
181253 -       the structure a useful tool for people. ref SDS 35 H17O
181254 -
181255 -       [On 010916 SDS enables amazing memory with mechanisms that
181256 -       obviously work. ref SDS 37 0001
181257 -    ..
181258 -    Cliff's assesment today is based in part from observing SDS
181259 -    being used on 000723. ref SDS 14 1444  On 000425 wished he had SDS
181260 -    capability. ref SDS 10 0001  On 000713 he reported SDS is very
181261 -    powerful. ref SDS 11 4267  On 000727 Cliff explained mathematics of
181262 -    SDS that make the design effective for KM. ref SDS 16 3960
181263 -
181264 -    Cliff's comments today supplement Dick Karpinski's report to Doug's
181265 -    DKR team on 000227. ref SDS 8 0897
181266 -
181267 -    This aligns with Joe Ransdell's assessment on 000721 that SDS aids
181268 -    human understanding through the cyclical process of intelligence
181269 -    that converts information into knowledge, ref SDS 13 E2FY, which
181270 -    inherently supports the scientific process Joe cited on 000716.
181271 -    ref SDS 12 0192
181272 - ..
181273 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Cliff making following points...
181274 -        ..
181275 -    1.  SDS is a core technology for knowledge work; there is no
181276 -        record showing another implementation can be developed, per
181277 -        telecon with Pat on 000829. ref SDS 23 YL9M
181278 -
181279 -     [On 001004 letter to DKR team on defining a KM customer.
181280 -     ref SDS 27 0001
181281 -
181282 -     [On 001011 letter to SRI on KM initiative. ref SDS 28 0001
181283 -
181284 -     [On 000113 called Cliff on endorsement. ref SDS 29 0001
181285 -
181286 -  ..
181287 -    2.  Request Cliff to set out some details on why SDS is a good
181288 -        design for KM tasks, discussed on 000713. ref SDS 11 4267
181289 -        Writing out SDS advantages will provide focus on the
181290 -        opportunity to use SDS.  This can help marketing and business
181291 -        planning, raising cash.
181292 -
181293 -          [On 001016 called left voice message for Cliff about progress
181294 -          making endorsement for SDS. ref SDS 30 PN3K
181295 -
181296 -          [On 010126 Cliff requests comments on a paper; does not
181297 -          submit comments on SDS. ref SDS 36 PN3K
181298 -
181299 -    3.  SDS design comes along once every 2,000 years; is there time to
181300 -        wait for another implementation?
181301 -        ..
181302 -    4.  People need experience converting information into
181303 -        knowledge for discovering how to us technology to augment
181304 -        intelligence, ref DIT 1 467F, per letter, ref DIP 6 0001, to
181305 -        Doug's team on 000920. ref SDS 24 2V5F
181306 -
181307 -          [On 001004 letter to DKR team explained need for pilot
181308 -          testing for people to use KM. ref SDS 27 WV4K
181309 -
181310 -    5.  Propose contract so LANL can discover how to design KM.
181311 -        ref DIT 1 467F, based on scope of services developed for USACe
