231409 - planning to make. ref SDS 64 A75O

231810 -      Eugene says today the purpose of the dialog mapping system is to
231811 -      manage email for organizational memory, ref DRT 1 9R6I, on the
231812 -      OHS Launch Community he has recently started, per below.
231813 -      ref SDS 0 00UU
231814 -
231815 -      This answers the question on 010916 about how the system is used
231816 -      for capturing dialog:  evidently that is not directly supported.
231817 -      ..
231818 -      Organizational memory is a new term for OHS/DKR.  It was
231819 -      introduced on 000120, ref SDS 14 RJ9O, and is explained in POIMS,
231820 -      ref OF 1 1101, which Jack Park commended to the team on 000331,
231821 -      ref SDS 20 3905, and again on 001116, ref SDS 39 MZ6H, but until
231822 -      now, nobody has investigated the opportunity.  Eugene's efforts
231823 -      are a big step.
231824 -
231825 -      On 010420 Jack Park cited Jeff Conklin's work, who suggests there
231826 -      is a big demand for organizational memory. ref SDS 51 IE4M
231827 -      Today, Eugene says his new system is influenced by Conklin's
231828 -      work, ref DRT 1 007P, but does not provide a definition, nor is
231829 -      there a link to anything in Conklin's work on organizational
231830 -      memory.
231831 -      ..
231832 -      Codifying mechanism used for dialog maping email, which
231833 -      Eric mentioned in his report yesterday, ref SDS 66 6O6I, is not
231834 -      explained in Eugene's letter today.
231835 -      ..
231836 -      Topic maps are not mentioned, suggested by Eric on 010916,
231837 -      and reviewed for supporting OHS/DKR. ref SDS 66 CQ9G
231838 -
231839 -  ..
231840 - Eugene explains....
231841 -
231842 -      I limited my experiment to the OHS LC's mailing list rather than
231843 -      unrev-ii for a number of reasons.  First, people on this list use
231844 -      a variety of e-mail clients, and my plinking software is very
231845 -      dumb.  With a more constrained community, I don't have to worry
231846 -      about people formatting their e-mails in bizarre ways that render
231847 -      my plinking software useless. ref DRT 1 00WQ
231848 -
231849 -          This strategy explains why there has been no work product
231850 -          submitted.  Seems to be limited to the select group, reported
231851 -          below. ref SDS 0 00UU
231852 -
231853 -          Analysis on 010916 indicates that work product is a good
231854 -          indicator of usefulness and usability.
231855 -          ..
231856 -          Limiting pilot testing is a good strategy for working
231857 -          through early issues to refine performance.
231858 -
231859 -          Need schedule on release of use cases and examples of work
231860 -          product, as was done with Nexist on 010405. ref SDS 49 A13H

451409 -
451410 -      There are thousands of words in the unrev archives that may never
451411 -      see the light of day, because its just to damn hard to find
451412 -      anything.  Eugene's mechanism of dialog mapping, as explained

451417 - Eugene comments.....
451418 -
451419 -      This was really the main reason I decided to experiment with
451420 -      dialog mapping of e-mail in the first place.  A lot of valuable
451421 -      information is hidden in e-mail archives.  Dialog mapping is an
451422 -      effective way of converting this raw data into organizational
451423 -      memory. ref DRT 1 9R6I
451424 -
451425 -          This motivation seems to align with analysis on 010916 that
451426 -          organizing the record is critical for national security
451427 -
451428 -          It would help to get an example of dialog mapping that adds
451429 -          value to email for organizational memory.
451430 -          ..
451431 -          What evidence supports the proposition that dialog
451432 -          mapping accomplishes the goal Eugene sets out?  Who is using
451433 -          it for this purpose, where is an example of work product?
451434 -
451435 -              [On 011029 called Eugene and received an address on the
451436 -              Internet showing examples of dialog work product; he
451437 -              explained there is no codifying sytem reported earlier by
451438 -              Eric for organizing the record, and no other evident

A41319 -
A41320 -      This is the other reason I didn't experiment with this list.
A41321 -      Dialog mapping can be hard.  Simply creating a dialog map of
A41322 -      Eric's e-mail requires a considerable amount of time (although
A41323 -      probably less than the time Eric needed to construct the e-mail).
A41324 -      ref DRT 1 00WT
A41325 -
A41326 -          This is the strongest part of Eugene's letter today, because
A41327 -          it shows someone willing to invest time on organizing the
A41328 -          record to solve the problem Eric Armstrong reported yesterday
A41329 -          that it is too hard to find information using keyword methods

AX0883 -        better interface for knowledge would be helpful, ref DIT 1
AX0884 -        GS4G, but nobody knows that for sure until experience is gained
AX0885 -        working with the SDS process that converts information into
AX0886 -        knowledge. Once that experience is gained, then it is
AX0887 -        appropriate to discuss how to deliver it with a better
AX0888 -        interface.  Eric and many others are capable of this task.

AX0913 -   11.  No interface will ever reduce the learning curve for SDS

AX0915 -        ref DIT 1 WV8G, although folks can pick up some basics in a few
AX0916 -        hours.  But in the face of overwhelming evidence that current
AX0917 -        methods don't work for finding anything, cited by Eric in his
AX0918 -        letter to Eugene on 010916, ref SDS 66 KA6H, and SDS obviously
AX0919 -        works for finding everything noted by Eric in his earlier
AX0920 -        letter, ref SDS 65 0001, would it be prudent to look into SDS
AX0921 -        for intelligence support to see what it takes to strengthen
AX0922 -        national security under reports on 010911, ref SDS 61 UP5K, and
AX0923 -        the economy, reported on 001207? ref SDS 45 V54M

AX0926 -        everybody remember and use the archives to guide planning and
AX0927 -        improve performance of daily work, takes a little bit of
AX0928 -        commitment to improve, as discussed with DOD on 010730.

BH0902 - Usability Affects Market Acceptance and Success of Technology
BH0903 -
BH0904 - Eric continues...
BH0905 -
BH0906 -      Your system is usable, by you. Most systems are usable by their
BH0907 -      developers. (For example, NLS.)  The question is, how usable is
BH0908 -      it by others? The answer to that question determines the eventual
BH0909 -      acceptance and penetration of the technoglogy. ref DRT 2 ZH6G
BH0910 -
BH0911 -          Usability by a developer is not dispositive, because it only
BH0912 -          reflects added value for one person.  SDS records demonstrate
BH0913 -          work product that is useful for over 15 years.  Eric's
BH0914 -          argument can be strengthened by citing other programs with
BH0915 -          this track record.  Availability of SDS work product on the
BH0916 -          Internet in recent years beginning with planning on 971021,
BH0917 -          ref SDS 9 3636, has demonstrated a wide range of people and
BH0918 -          organizations can use SDS work product, as shown on 010907.

BH0925 -          SDS is a new way of working that is usable by anyone
BH0926 -          who takes time to learn, like driving a car, reading and
BH0927 -          writing.

BH0931 -          ..
BH0932 -          Eric recommended on 000921 balancing time to learn
BH0933 -          against usefulness. ref SDS 33 AF3L  More usefulness requires
BH0934 -          more time to learn.  People learn to drive a car in a few
BH0935 -          days. Learning to fly a plane takes more time; acquiring the
BH0936 -          skills of literacy takes years.  SDS strengthens literacy by
BH0937 -          integratng time and information that advances alphabet
BH0938 -          technology, which has not been done in over 2,000 years. It
BH0939 -          takes people time to absorb this cultural advance, explained
BH0940 -          on 910529. ref SDS 3 9989
BH0941 -
BH0942 -          Marketing hype equates "usability" with GUI that makes
BH0943 -          learning intuitive, fast and easy, called "user friendly."
BH0944 -          Eric has shown analytic skills for differentiating usability
BH0945 -          and GUI from learning fast and easy, as related in research
BH0946 -          on 950710. ref SDS 6 3P6G  His letter on 000921 propposed
BH0947 -          that respect for the user requires ease of use. ref SDS 33
BH0948 -          0R9O  Users also deserve respect for demanding usefulness

BH0952 -
BH0953 -          SDS is run under Windows, uses menus and the mouse.  It takes
BH0954 -          several months to learn, and honing skills extends over a
BH0955 -          lifetime creating useful intelligence; folks can pick up some
BH0956 -          basics in a few hours to get started. ref DIT 1 WV8G,
BH0957 -
BH0958 -          Accordingly, SDS is not fast and easy to learn, because
BH0959 -          usability that enables a new way of working explained on
BH0960 -          910529, ref SDS 3 9989, is not intuitive, see again 950710.

BH0967 -          productivity, earnings and stock prices, as summarized
BH0968 -          recently on 010907. ref SDS 59 KX3L  This encourages some

BH0975 -          used for knowledge management by anyone. ref SDS 66 UF9M  SDS
BH0976 -          is the only system that can produce organizational memory and

BH0979 -              [On 010924 Morris observed people never discover the
BH0980 -              value of organizational memory, so adding intelligence is
BH0981 -              never reached, because nobody else has tools that enable
BH0982 -              doing either step. ref SDS 67 XT5F
BH0983 -
BH0984 -          "Usability" is relative to effectiveness of alternatives in
BH0985 -          relation to demand and need for functionality.
BH0986 -          ..
BH0987 -          If there is a big need for intelligence, and no other
BH0988 -          way to get it, SDS becomes the most useable system available.
BH0989 -          If there are other ways to get intelligence by hiring a bunch
BH0990 -          of people, as proposed on 980815, ref SDS 10 6424, SDS may
BH0991 -          still be desirable, i.e., useable.
