151005 -      Its been some time since we communicated and I thought I'd share
151006 -      a review Eric Armstrong wrote on one aspect of the emerging
151007 -      CoreOne platform.

151014 - Sandy submitted a PDF file prepared by Eric Armstrong that covers a

151035 -
151036 -      Had a little difficulty initially opening Eric's file, but
151037 -      finally was able to take a look.  Something to think about when
151038 -      planning a DKR system is that PDF files take extra time to
151039 -      convert into something that can be integrated into the work
151040 -      stream for effective analysis. ref DIT 1 HU6K

151051 -      Eric Reviews Issues that Refine KM, Core Capability Missing
151052 -
151053 -      The issues Eric raises (e.g., versioning, ratings,
151054 -      addressability, external markup, etc), have been given critical
151055 -      attention over the past 18 months by Doug Engelbart's group.
151056 -      Eric's specs reviewed on 000505, ref SDS 33 0001, as revised on
151057 -      000614, ref SDS 48 0001, and Lee Iverson's update on 010620,
151058 -      called NODAL, ref SDS 74 0001, do an excellent job of identifying
151059 -      such requirements.  From my experience these are interesting
151060 -      refinements of the effort to use technology for saving time and
151061 -      money in accomplishing knowledge work. ref DIT 1 008G

151066 -      How Does CoreOne Enable New Way of Working?
151067 -
151068 -      Addressability is useful when integrated with other features that
151069 -      Eric does not discuss; but, in any case, the proof is in the
151070 -      pudding. ref DIT 1 009P
151071 -
151072 -      Would like to see examples of your work product, and scenarios
151073 -      explaining application that provides a new way of working, called
151074 -      out by Doug, reviewed on 991222. ref SDS 22 3696  Let's say we
151075 -      are on the job using your system.  How would we work differently
151076 -      that saves time and money? We have 3 meetings, make 8 phone
151077 -      calls, send 15 email, etc.  How would this work be improved by
151078 -      your system? ref DIT 1 VT8N
151080 -           ..
151081 -          Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Sandy answering my letter this
151082 -          morning, saying....
151083 -
151084 -             The concentration of the CoreOne platform is to provide a
151085 -             robust foundation that directly supports the notions of
151086 -             continued manipulation of a knowledge base, maintaining
151087 -             event chronology for actions, easy passage access and
151088 -             linkage, archive search capability, and long-term context
151089 -             management.
151091 -              ..
151092 -             Would you like to come under an NDA to review the
151093 -             architectural specification?
151095 -           ..
151096 -          Sandy evidently does not yet have work product, but rather
151097 -          has developed a specification for accomplishing something.
151098 -          Based on progress reported by OHS/DKR effort, it seems like a
151099 -          good strategy for evaluating technology is see work product,
151100 -          rather than specs.
151102 -           ..
151103 -          Received ref DRT 3 0003 from Eric complimenting analysis of
151104 -          CoreTalk.
151106 -       ..
151107 -      Eric has written to the group on 010912, ref SDS 76 0001,
151108 -      supporting Jack Park's recent idea on 010908 to improve email,
151109 -      because email seems fast and easy, i.e., it allows people to
151110 -      graze on endless information, rather than do the hard work of
151111 -      creating useful knowledge. ref DIT 1 005O  Jack likes this idea
151112 -      because people are lazy. ref SDS 75 0001
151114 -       ..
151115 -      On 000307 KM was explained as "hard work." ref SDS 27 5182
151117 -       ..
151118 -      Eric's support for improving email reflects his proposal on
151119 -      000120, ref SDS 24 3871, and on other occasions (summarized in
151120 -      the record on 010988, ref SDS 75 FV4G, for the system Jack now
151121 -      contemplates, which can be summarized as webmail.
151123 -       ..
151124 -      This capability has been demonstrated over the past 18 months,
151125 -      but there has not been a lot of interest, as reported on 010908,
151126 -      ref SDS 75 XS6J, because KM requires deliberative analysis that
151127 -      adds intelligence to information, explained in POIMS, ref OF 1
151128 -      5418, and in the record on 001219, ref SDS 71 FO5M, while people
151129 -      prefer reactive, spontaneous commentary that produces more
151130 -      information, like this letter, because it can be created fast and
151131 -      easy, which fits the parameters Jack cites of laziness.

151140 -      How, for example, can Sandy's system convert the letter
151141 -      submitted today, ref DIT 1 0001, into a structure of
151142 -      organizational memory that can be manipulated for continued use
151143 -      to grow the knowledge base?
151145 -       ..
151146 -      How much time does it take to organize this letter, so that bits
151147 -      and pieces that are relevant to past and future events can be
151148 -      connected into a chronology of cause and effect to guide daily
151149 -      action?
151151 -           ..
151152 -          Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Sandy answering my letter this
151153 -          morning, but not submitting work product nor answering these
151154 -          questions.
151156 -       ..
151157 -      How long will it take to remember, access and link relevant parts
151158 -      of this letter to new information received a month, a year, 10
151159 -      years later, in order to discover, weigh and establish alignment
151160 -      with belief in cause and effect, and then hard wire alignment of
151161 -      such belief in relation to contextual experience?
151163 -       ..
151164 -      How long and with what processes will organic subject structure
151165 -      be formulated to manage context?  How will new information from
151166 -      this letter be integrated into the work stream for timely and
151167 -      thorough follow up?
151169 -       ..
151170 -      These two issues of understanding and follow up are not discussed
151171 -      in Eric's comments on your work, perhaps because they augment
151172 -      human intelligence that converts information into knowledge.  The
151173 -      team decided on 000615 to forego work on a system to create
151174 -      knowledge, ref SDS 50 6271, based on Eric's letter on 000503.
151175 -      ref SDS 32 5033
151177 -       ..
151178 -      To provide a productive new way of working, these issues need
151179 -      support.
