2214 - Progress
2215 -
221501 - On 050303 improved search feature for precision access using Context
221502 - Management that has proven to save a lot of time. ref SDS 6 C16D  This
221503 - applies get command Morris created on 031113, ref SDS 5 03A5, to
221504 - perform binary search explained by Tim Bray at Sun Microsystems
221505 - discovered in research on 050303. ref SDS 6 JY3H  Ideas offered by
221506 - Gary and Morris on testing led to refinements that seem to have
221507 - resulted in a working system.
221509 -  ..
221510 - This is an example of collaboration, and research using SDS and the
221511 - Internet for scalable knowledge, cited by Pat Lincoln at SRI on 010517
221512 - as an industry goal. ref SDS 4 4Q5I
221514 -  ..
221515 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Morris with a copy to Gary, and to Tim
221516 - saying...
221517 -
221518 -    1.  Thanks very much for your help improving intelligence support,
221519 -        reported on March 3rd. ref DIT 1 0001  Your ideas on binary
221520 -        search yielded improvements to context management, ref SDS 6
221521 -        C16D, that strengthen daily tasks finding critical details
221522 -        based on situational awareness, ref OF 6 KH8J  Reducing the
221523 -        time by a factor of 20:1 facilitates dynamic linking that
221524 -        positions everything in the right place at the right time for
221525 -        precsion access to organizational memory, noted in your letter
221526 -        on April 25, 2001. ref SDS 3 EP7F
221528 -         ..
221529 -    2.  By copy I am thanking Gary Johnson at Boeing for suggestions on
221530 -        testing, ref SDS 6 EE8F, and, also, Tim Bray at Sun
221531 -        Microsystems for his paper on binary search methods,
221532 -        ref SDS 6 JY3H, as further set out in the record on March 3.
221533 -        ref DIT 1 ZT6G

221536 -    3.  On January 11, 2001 Pat Lincoln, who heads up the Computer
221537 -        Science department at SRI, ref DIT 1 ZT7M, worried about slow
221538 -        progress on tools for collaboration. ref SDS 2 EF6M  Later, on
221539 -        May 17, 2001 Pat cited industry goals for scalable knowledge.
221540 -        ref SDS 4 4Q5I  Thanks to you, to Gary, and to Tim we have
221541 -        taken another step toward a culture of knowledge, which you
221542 -        previously asked about on February 27, 1996. ref SDS 1 0022
