Subject:   Graphical Display Useful for Organizing Small Subjects

Eric,

Good observation in your letter today that graphics for managing what folks loosely call "ontology" oversimplifies the problem of managing context.

Would be great to see someone come forward with an "ontology" for a few paragraphs of a letter, an article, a book. Then organize ontology for a phone call, a meeting, analysis of a broadcast or a report on a professional event. Then expand the ontology for more calls, letters, etc. Very soon, in a matter of hours or days, the complexity of organizing even a tiny fraction of daily life becomes overwhelming, as Jack noted in a letter on 000221.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
