090503 - Jack will try to do the peer review of POIMS.  He is making progress
090504 - with his OHS project that he is calling Nexist. ref SDS 0 A13H Offered
090505 - ideas for project guidance. ref SDS 0 485N  Grant Bowman is providing
090506 - project management for the Nexist project; discussed getting Eugene
090507 - Kim and Eric Armstrong to help. ref SDS 0 485F  There wasn't enough
090508 - time during the meeting at SRI last week to discuss ABC improvement
090509 - that requires pilot testing.  Jack will try to ask about this today.

090913 - Also, need comments on the letter to Curt, ref DIP 1 0001 linked to
090914 - the meeting on 010122. ref SDS 34 0001  Does Jack see the proposition
090915 - that KM is a research project to discover how to overcome ignorance,
090916 - fear and denial that prevents people from using KM? ref SDS 34 PZ8M
090917 - ..
090918 - This latter point gives rise to the need for pilot testing, per

601427 - SourceForge came into the record for the meeting at SRI on 000608 when
601428 - Eugene Kim planed to set up an open source project using SourceForge.
601429 - ref SDS 16 5985  Jack indicated in our telecon that he has formulated
601430 - an open source license, which was a requirement for SourceForge cited
601431 - during the meeting at SRI on 000622. ref SDS 17 5985
601433 -  ..
601434 - Examination of Jack's web site shows he changed "SDS" to "PIM," as
601435 - suggested in the record on 010329, ref SDS 49 EP4L, which was
601436 - submitted to Jack by the letter, ref DIP 3 0001, discussing peer
601437 - review of KM in POIMS, per above.

601440 - PIM is the opposite of the POIMS design for SDS that implements KM and
601441 - Com Metrics. ref OF 1 0001

601444 - This morning we reviewed the benefit of using SDS to learn KM in order
601445 - to guide development of OHS, per the letter, ref DIP 3 PL8G, submitted
601446 - on 010329. ref SDS 49 VN7M

601455 - Grove Engine Proposed for OHS Architecture
601456 - OHS Improves Daily Work Using Grove Engine
601457 -
601458 - The Nexist web site has a diagram that shows a "client," "session
601459 - manager, and a Grove engine that processes documents.
601460 -
601461 -      [On 010614 analysis shows SDS organic subject structure may
601462 -      support KM better than an engine, until experience is gained that
601463 -      enables an engine to be designed that supports the architecture
601464 -      of human thought. ref SDS 51 HY6M
601466 -       ..
601467 -      [On 010618 Jack submitted updated code for evaluation and
601468 -      comment. ref SDS 52 BP3K
601470 -  ..
601471 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Eugene Kim submitting an excellent paper
601472 - explaining Grove, ref DRT 2 0002, and includes detailed references.

601480 - Grove's are explained in Eugene's paper as.....
601481 -
601482 -     Data modeling language.
601483 -
601484 -        Data modeling language seems to identify organic structure,

601486 -        SDS. ref DRT 2 00AM
601488 -  ..
601489 - Eugene says...
601490 -
601491 -        Consider, for example, an employee in a company. What are the
601492 -        different ways we can represent an employee?  We can start by
601493 -        thinking about the characteristics an employee has, things like
601494 -        a name, a salary, a starting date, a boss, and so on.  We can
601495 -        also think about employees as people, separating the
601496 -        people-specific characteristics -- name, age, gender, etc. --
601497 -        from the employee-specific ones -- salary, starting data, etc.
601498 -        ref DRT 2 00AM
601500 -      ..
601501 -     Graph Representation of property Values. ref DRT 2 01DT
601502 -
601503 -        Graphical representation of knowledge provides constructs for
601504 -        describing directed graphs consisting of nodes, which have
601505 -        properties, and arcs connecting the nodes for modeling
601506 -        structured documents. ref DRT 2 QB3N
601508 -         ..
601509 -        Graphically, a node and its nodal properties are connected to
601510 -        each other by an arc, with the direction of the arc pointing
601511 -        towards the property. ref DRT 2 01BS
601513 -      ..
601514 -     Addressability supported by Groves uniqely describes the location
601515 -     of a chunk of data. ref DRT 2 01HT
601516 -
601517 -         [On 010916 Eugene developing dialog maps for organizing the
601518 -         record that uses ontology inspection agents monitored by
601519 -         ontologists. ref SDS 53 8M6K
601521 -      ..
601522 -     Jack's letter on 010403 cited in Grant's letter received today,
601523 -     per above, ref SDS 0 A13H, explains that Nexist supports Topic
601524 -     Maps. ref DRT 1 0001  Since the Nexist web site provides support
601525 -     with a "grove engine," also, per above, ref SDS 0 485N, and since
601526 -     Eugene's report explains grove technology generates graphical
601527 -     representations of knowledge data structures, ref SDS 0 C19I, this
601528 -     seems to associate Grove with Topic Maps, and with goals for an
601529 -     "engine" to create graphical representations of knowledge proposed
601530 -     in Jack's letter on 000623. ref SDS 18 2915  Topic Maps ISO/IEO
601531 -     standards were cited by Roy Roebuck on 000125 to aid Colloquium
601532 -     work building a Dynamic Knowledge Repository (DKR). ref SDS 7
601533 -     TU4T  At that time, Topic Maps were presented for supporting
601534 -     hierarchial and associational data structures to graphically
601535 -     organize and navigate growing information pools based on context
601536 -     determined by situational awareness. ref SDS 7 9246
601537 -
601538 -         [On 010916 Eric Armstrong anticipated an "engine" might run
601539 -         around and perform useful tasks "mining" information to create
601540 -         knowledge. ref SDS 53 8M6K
601542 -      ..
601543 -     On 001130 Jack discussed an engine for ontology to support
601544 -     subjects and links. ref SDS 29 CC7K
601546 -      ..
601547 -     On 010223 engine for mining threads proposed; question on scope
601548 -     still pending. ref SDS 40 3RKS
601549 -     ..
601550 -     On 940603 work at Stanford planned to develop mediators to
601551 -     mine information for knowledge.

601563 - Suggestions for consideration to improve Nexist...
601564 -
601565 -    a.  Define knowledge, content and context to differentiate them
601566 -        from information, and from each other, as recommended to the
601567 -        OHS/DKR team on 000120, ref SDS 6 5063, and again on 000407.
601568 -        ref SDS 11 2805
601569 -
601570 -        This is related to peer review of POIMS, above. ref SDS 0 SH5O
601572 -         ..
601573 -        Jack said in our call today that he will do this.
601575 -         ..
601576 -    b.  Whole New Way of Thinking
601577 -
601578 -        Explain how the OHS/Nexist system will provide a whole new way
601579 -        of thinking about the way we work, learn, and live together,
601580 -        called out in Doug's mission for Bootstrapping, reported on
601581 -        991222, ref SDS 5 3696, and which Nexist and OHS propose to
601582 -        support,
601584 -         ..
601585 -        Provide scenarios showing how OHS will improve daily work, like
601586 -        going to the doctor, fixing the car, digging a ditch, writing a
601587 -        letter, reading a book, etc, per SDS typical day scenario.
601588 -        ref OF 5 0001
601590 -         ..
601591 -        Jack said he will do this.
601593 -         ..
601594 -    c.  Use OHS tools to develop and refine OHS, since that is the only
601595 -        practical way of knowing the tools are usable 24 7 by anyone
601596 -        else.
601597 -
601598 -        Jack said he plans to do this.
601600 -         ..
601601 -        He advised that the tools he has created so far to develop the
601602 -        OHS program are on his notebook computer, and it is too
601603 -        difficult to transfer them to his office desktop computer, so
601604 -        this presents a problem.
601605 -
601606 -            A key need for any tool set is ease of moving the human
601607 -            body to where it needs to go, and having knowledge tool
601608 -            support available in an efficient, ergonomic setting.
601610 -         ..
601611 -        We reviewed the need for an effective "knowledge" technology to
601612 -        do more than support so called "collaboration" by improving
601613 -        email, as called out in POIMS. ref OF 1 CZ6K and ref OF 1 K84L
601614 -        OHS tools must be used for creating OHS tools, for example
601615 -        shown on 990530, ref SDS 3 0001, and for everything else.
