391537 -      Topic Maps Use "Drill Down" Technology
391538 -
391539 - Jack notes....
391540 -
391541 -      Now, it is possible to generate a "drill down" topic map in
391542 -      which you create a topic in one topic map, and use occurrences of
391543 -      that topic to reference other topic maps.
391544 -
391545 -      I shall be very interested to see what others make of that idea.
391546 -
391547 -         Jack's design for topic maps could be very effective.
391548 -
391549 -         It sounds like an organic structure, which is essential for
391550 -         effective organization of the reocord.

391552 -         How long does it take to create new maps, and how long
391553 -         does it take to apply them in generating the record.
391554 -
391555 -         Need to observe this work being done, and gain experience
391556 -         using it in order to assess usefulness.  Is there a web site
391557 -         showing anyone has used Topic Maps in the manner Jack has in
391558 -         mind, or is this a new innovation?

391565 - Nexist shows professional data flow diagrams, and screen shots
391566 - people will encounter using Nexist.  These look familiar and easy to
391567 - use, like other Windows applications.
391568 -
391569 - Jack requests feedback.....
391570 -
391571 -     Meaningful feedback requires the ability to do work with Nexist
391572 -     that compares present practice with Nexist practice.
391573 -
391574 -     Feedback has been provided routinely, without reciprocation that
391575 -     shows investing time is fruitful. For example the record on 000623
391576 -     has 6 pending issues. ref SDS 63 0490  The record on 001130 has 18
391577 -     pending issues, ref SDS 70 0001, etc., etc....

391588 -
391589 -         On 991222 Doug Engelbart sets a mission for enabling a
391590 -         "....whole new way of thinking and working." ref SDS 41 3696
391591 -         On 000327, Doug's 1972 paper calls for better handling of
391592 -         daily working information. ref SDS 46 3971
391593 -
391594 -         Jack indicated on 010522 that he and Howard are beginning to
391595 -         use Nexist for daily work to develop Nexist. ref SDS 87 J25M A
391596 -         few examples of actual daily work would help people grasp how
391597 -         present practice is improved for developing an OHS/DKR, and
391598 -         for creating software code, and by extension can provide a new
391599 -         way of thinking and working for constructing a building,
391600 -         baking a cake, going to the dentist, traveling to Mars, etc.

391603 -     2.  Use case scenarios....
391604 -
391605 -         On 010223 Jack's paper on education cited IBIS, Topic Maps and
391606 -         collaboration as education enhancements. ref SDS 75 JQ4K  The
391607 -         Nexist web site can explain how education tasks, e.g.,
391608 -         analysis, reading and writing, will be improved using Nexist.
391609 -         An example is the record on 010614 that explains how education
391610 -         can be improved. ref SDS 92 A581

391615 -         Scenarios for business, e.g., attend a meeting, make a phone
391616 -         call, write a letter, would move people toward wanting to use
391617 -         Nexist.

391623 -         what others are proposing.

391626 -         it differ from Nexist? ref SDS 92 0001  S&T proposed....

391634 -
391635 -         Can Nexist and S&T collaborate on finding a common effective
391636 -         way to improve problem solving?  What about discovering and
391637 -         solving smaller problems, which, if unattended, grow into big
391638 -         ones? How will this be accomplished?

391643 -         Will Jack's code help solve problem of check in and check out,
391644 -         which Morris cited on 010613? ref SDS 94 RW5F
391645 -
391646 -              Since this has been a big topic of discussion on OHS/DKR
391647 -              team, and since Jack is working to create this capability
391648 -              with Nexist, it seem likely this requirement has been
391649 -              given consideration in Jack's work.
391650 -
391651 -              For example on 000423 Eric described issues being
391652 -              considered by OHS/DKR team to accomplish versioning.
391653 -              ref SDS 51 5113
391654 -
391655 -              On 000504 Eugene specifically calls for version control
391656 -              in the OHS/DKR to implement manual systems. ref SDS 55
391657 -              4966  At that time, Jack commented favorably on Eugene's
391658 -              planning, ref SDS 55 6082, and so this may suggest this
391659 -              capability will be incorporated in to Nexist.
