451704 - proposes a processor to organize information automatically; Paul feels
451705 - it is difficult to accomplish because useful information must relate
451706 - to human experience, which is very complex. ref SDS 0 RH5H  Paul

451708 - determination. ref SDS 0 JP3N  Paul feels information overload is

451721 - to perform KM. ref SDS 0 00VU  The plan aims to support knowledge
451722 - work, and assumes proposed features will be useful. But knowledge is
451723 - not defined, and the plan omits subjects and search capability, among
451724 - other requirements.  There is no mention of software development,
451725 - which is a plus, since engineering management is endemic to KM.  Phase
451726 - I calls for fast and easy tools to create links, which would be very
451727 - useful. ref SDS 0 E9G2 Phase II calls for folks to migrate all files
451728 - to OHS based on vaguely defined powerful features.  Phase III is weak

452324 -
452325 -      The issue is when things can be in multiple scopes. So I think as
452326 -      a start, it makes it easier and more flexible to just use
452327 -      additional triads to define one or more scopes for other triads.
452328 -      Those scope triads can also be in scopes, although you can end
452329 -      the infinite regress by assigning a default scope to triads
452330 -      without any specific scope triad. So, scope then emerges out of
452331 -      how triads are used. I'm not saying scope is unimportant, just
452332 -      that it should be an emergent property managed by code as opposed
452333 -      to built in to the structure (at least until we have more

452342 -
452343 -      So, now we have a *concept* to represent.  How do we do that?
452344 -      With strings alone?  I don't think so.  When meat-space thinks
452345 -      about Jo B., it conjures up images, recollections, lots of
452346 -      contexts.  It seems to me that there needs to be a representation
452347 -      for that concept, one that, perhaps, points to all the known
452348 -      contexts in which that concept plays some role. At least, when

AC0886 -     Accomplishing Doug's request today for contributors to use links

AC0888 -     (defined on 911123, ref SDS 1 1331) that permeates the work place,
AC0889 -     discussed in the record of the meeting at SRI on 001017.

AC0915 -     fun, rather than exercise greater diligence. ref SDS 54 6N9G
AC0917 -      ..
AC0918 -     Experience from 000405 when Doug first called for linking the

AC0920 -     working.
AC0922 -      ..
AC0923 -     The record indicates people want to be effective using current
AC0924 -     skills, rather than investing time to improve skills for saving
AC0925 -     time and money.  Learning a new way of working that is more
AC0926 -     effective doesn't make "common sense," because it conflicts with
AC0927 -     experience that forms habits and paradigms about correlations
AC0928 -     between cause and effect, i.e., knowledge.  Changing perspective
AC0929 -     and physical motions we already know is, therefore, awkward and
AC0930 -     hard to remember.

AC0933 -     It takes diligence to change work habits by overcoming boundaries

AC0936 -     are deferred.
AC0938 -      ..
AC0939 -     We have to continue doing things that initially seem like they are
AC0940 -     not be fun, nor rewarding, long enough to acquire new skills, that
AC0941 -     turn out to be fun and bring bigger rewards.  But, doing things
AC0942 -     that don't make sense for an extended period in hopes of having
AC0943 -     fun in the future, and gaining deferred rewards of "knowledge," is
AC0944 -     prospectively not fun in the moment.
AC0946 -      ..
AC0947 -     This poses an innovation loop discussed with Pat Lincoln on
AC0948 -     000711, ref SDS 44 QJ9O, and previously with Doug on 000327.
AC0949 -     ref SDS 25 4420  KM requires diligence to do things we don't
AC0950 -     understand, and so don't feel good, long enough to gain
AC0951 -     understanding, so we feel better.
AC0953 -      ..
AC0954 -     Open Source development in particular entails having fun doing
AC0955 -     what people want, as related on 001012. ref SDS 57 PT5M
AC0957 -      ..
AC0958 -     Accordingly, Open Source development directly conflicts with the
AC0959 -     requirements of creating Knowledge Management capability, as
AC0960 -     evidenced by Doug's request today that is not being performed by
AC0961 -     Open Source advocates. ref DRT 2 00VU  This conclusion is
AC0962 -     supported by the history of the project.
AC0964 -      ..
AC0965 -     Additionally, there seems to be a signficant psychological barrier
AC0966 -     that prevents people from linking to the record, since the process
AC0967 -     uses existing skills, it is easy, fun and rewarding.  This record
AC0968 -     shows that people likely have to be paid in order to add links
AC0969 -     that improve the work for saving time and money.
AC0971 -      ..
AC0972 -     Over the past 10 months approximately 100 letters have been
AC0973 -     submitted to the SRI team with links to facilitate communication.
AC0974 -     Cultural resistance to using links is evident from the record
AC0975 -     showing that over the entire 10 months, no contributor has ever
AC0976 -     cited a link.  In a letter on 000223, Doug indirectly explained
AC0977 -     contributors refuse to use links, because there is not enough
AC0978 -     bandwidth, i.e., time. ref SDS 21 3774  More recently, Pat Lincoln
AC0979 -     has been too busy to review the record on 001017, ref SDS 59 0001,
AC0980 -     and noted that other top people are even busier than he is.
AC0982 -         ..
AC0983 -        [On 001027 Doug reported nobody has done this. ref SDS 64 0001
AC0985 -      ..
AC0986 -     This shows the importance of time that prevents adopting stronger
AC0987 -     work practice.  Presently it is faster and easier for people to
AC0988 -     extract text and comment out of context, rather than link to
AC0989 -     context.  Dave Vannier commented at Intel on 960627 that it takes
AC0990 -     time to create links, ref SDS 7 2370; so it doesn't seem practical
AC0991 -     to use that method, regardless of how much money it saves, because
AC0992 -     savings occur in the future, and time must be expended now. That's
AC0993 -     risky, and its not fun.  Open Source folks "just wanna have fun."
AC0995 -      ..
AC0996 -     This might be an area where an SDS-type tool can help transition
AC0997 -     toward Knowledge Management, since creating links simply entails
AC0998 -     pressing enter or double clicking.  Reducing the time, reduces the
AC0999 -     risk and therefore the level of diligince needed to use good work
AC1000 -     practices.  This encourages performance by a broader base of
AC1001 -     people, as explained on 000920, ref SDS 52 6Q6J, citing the Boy
AC1002 -     Scout napsack analogy. ref DIP 3 Y14G
AC1004 -      ..
AC1005 -     Doug addresses this in part in the OHS launch plan by calling for
AC1006 -     significant payoff accrual early in the pursuit, ref DRT 2 LK5L,
AC1007 -     and by planning to develop tools that make linking fast and easy.

AC1015 -     time and the desire to learn Knowledge Management, even when
AC1016 -     facilitated by incorporating links in source material, as Doug
AC1017 -     submits today (see addressability below, ref SDS 0 D3W8), or even

AL0704 - The objective of OHS is to improve development and application of

AL0711 - ref DRT 2 04SP
AL0713 -  ..
AL0714 - On 991222 Doug's 1992 paper proposes an OHS that seems to include the
AL0715 - current scope for a DKR, ref SDS 15 3360.  Doug's more recent paper
AL0716 - "Technology Template Project," reviewed in part on 000614, separates
AL0717 - OHS from Dynamic Knowledge Capture, which describes a "repository."
AL0718 - ref SDS 41 4710  These references are not cited in the Launch Plan,
AL0719 - and no other references are provided showing the history of this work.
AL0721 -  ..
AL0722 - These provisions show OHS intends to support "knowledge," as distinct
AL0723 - from information management.  Data generally relates to quantity, and
AL0724 - information is a narrative explanation that relates data to context at
AL0725 - a particular time, e.g., when the email was sent, when the document
AL0726 - was prepared, the meeting was held, the phone call occurred, etc.  All
AL0727 - of these events generate information.  What then is knowledge?  On

AL0761 -      ..
AL0762 -     The purpose of defining knowledge is to set the bar above current
AL0763 -     practice using data and information management.  Without a clear
AL0764 -     definition of knowledge to guide development, OHS can only assume
AL0765 -     usefulness, per below. ref SDS 0 BG4N  This will compound problems
AL0766 -     by adding information, rather than converting it into "knowledge"
AL0767 -     that saves time and money.

AX0816 - On 000129 Eric Armstrong recommended identifying a single, core
AX0817 - function as the nucleous of the project. ref SDS 19 3383  Translating
AX0818 - and linking across different computer systems and programs, seems to
AX0819 - be the core of the OHS plan.  If so, or if something else is the core,
AX0820 - that should be expressly stated.
AX0822 -  ..
AX0823 - The single, core function of OHS is linking. ref SDS 0 E9G2  Multiple
AX0824 - views are an important feature. ref SDS 0 A52R  Hyperscope enables
AX0825 - access to legacy files.  OHS will provide a single way to create, read
AX0826 - and tie everything together.  MS Word already supports linking and it
AX0827 - does pictures, too.  Morris says MS Word functions are available in
AX0828 - IE, so why can't that be the OHS that has addressability in email, or
AX0829 - at least a model of what to create?   If that isn't enough to create
AX0830 - knowledge, then we need a stronger core function than linking.

AX0833 -     [On 001027 Paul Fernhout explains linking is useful to create a

AX0841 - It would be helpful for the introduction to explain a three (3) phase
AX0842 - program, and how each phase is related, something like...
AX0843 -
AX0844 -    ABC improvement will be achieved in three steps.
AX0845 -
AX0846 -    a.  Hyperscope technology will translate existing files for access
AX0847 -        in an improved browser with strong linking and user functions.
AX0849 -         ..
AX0850 -    b.  In Phase II, Hyperscope evolves into an OHS with functions for
AX0851 -        flexible viewing and editing that support collaboration for
AX0852 -        collective IQ.  Open source development enables dynamically
AX0853 -        improving applications where users can work solely within OHS,
AX0854 -        rather than the present ad hoc, fragmentary environment that
AX0855 -        impairs productivity.
AX0857 -         ..
AX0858 -    c.  Phase III co-evolves technology with work skills to support
AX0859 -        implementation of OHS across the full range of knowledge work
AX0860 -        in government and enterprise, that enables continual
AX0861 -        improvement under Doug Engelbart's widely acclaimed ABC

C50763 -
C50764 -    a.  Relative Addressing:
C50765 -
C50766 -        A conventional URL with a "#label" extension can position the
C50767 -        HyperScope at a given object in the target file.  Extended
C50768 -        conventions will enable the link to point to subordinate
C50769 -        objects -- e.g., to a word in a paragraph, to an expression in
C50770 -        an equation, ... ref DRT 2 02EA

C50773 -    b.  Indirect Linking:
C50775 -         ..
C50776 -        A very powerful extension to the relative addressing is a
C50777 -        convention which directs the HyperScope to go to a specific
C50778 -        location and then follow the link at that position -- and
C50779 -        perhaps at the link's destination to do further relative
C50780 -        positioning and "link following." This indirect linking
C50781 -        provides very powerful functionality when users learn to
C50782 -        harness it. ref DRT 2 02GC

C50789 -        a dictionary; every special term is implicitly linked to its

C50791 -        object's name in a source-code file is implicitly linked to its
C50792 -        implementation code; ...; every pronoun is implicitly linked to
C50793 -        its antecedent. Special "jump" commands can be provided which
C50794 -        can operate as though the term in question is explicitly linked

DA0804 - Dynamic Knowledge Repository (DKR) could be maintained by trained
DA0805 - Support Teams.  A university might field a team to support a research
DA0806 - project;  A "Knowledge Integrator" could facilitate a professional
DA0807 - society's DKR.  Competitive exercises could be conducted among teams

DA0821 -      On 991222 Doug requested review of his 1992 paper "Toward High
DA0822 -      Performance Organizations," ref SDS 15 3360, which sets goals for
DA0823 -      "collective IQ." ref SDS 15 3360  At that time, Doug explained
DA0824 -      plans for a Colloquium to encourage funding of experiments toward
DA0825 -      developing technology for OHS/DKR that would implement ideas he
DA0826 -      presented in SRI's 1962 proposal to Augment Human Intellect.

DA0830 -      DKR seems to be applied here as merely a body of knowledge, e.g.,
DA0831 -      engineering, medicine, farming, and so on.  The Launch Plan can
DA0832 -      be strengthened by indicating how stuff gets into the DKR, and
DA0833 -      how it is applied to perform daily work, including to solve world
DA0834 -      problems, which was set as an objective on 000120. ref SDS 17
DA0835 -      1215 and ref SDS 17 3002  Doug's transmittal letter explains
DA0836 -      advantage of linking to original sources.  Providing links to
DA0837 -      Doug's original writings on a DKR, would help the Launch Plan

DA0861 -       ..
DA0862 -      DKR could also relate to an organizational group, e.g., a
DA0863 -      project, a department, and it could be organic, Ford Motor,
DA0864 -      Mercury Division, Accounting Department, Sales, etc.
DA0866 -       ..
DA0867 -      Groupings require organic subject structure, also called
DA0868 -      "ontology."  So it seems pretty clear that for OHS to fly it
DA0869 -      needs to dig into subjects, categories, and ontology, take your
DA0870 -      pick, and this is difficult to accomplish, per discussion between
DA0871 -      Jack and Paul, above. ref SDS 0 KY5K

DA0874 -      In all of the functionality presented above for OHS, nothing is
DA0875 -      said about assembling information, i.e., a search engine to find
DA0876 -      critical details, and to assemble parts of the record showing
DA0877 -      chronology of related contextual frames, sometimes called,
DA0878 -      subjects, topics, categories, taxonomy, ontology, etc.  Possibly
DA0879 -      this is covered under Multiple Views, ref SDS 0 D6H8; or, perhaps
DA0880 -      the thought is that there are plenty of search engines for the
DA0881 -      Internet already, but it is not clearly set out.  Moreover,
DA0882 -      search engines, per se, are inadequate for managing context,
DA0883 -      which is why there is a lot of fuss about ontology, semiotics and
DA0884 -      other exotic stuff nobody else has developed yet.
