0707 - Summary/Objective
0708 -
070801 - Follow up ref SDS 58 0000, ref SDS 57 0000.
070802 -
070803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to the letter from Andrius,
070804 - ref DRP 2 0001 on 000218, ref SDS 58 0001, which confirmed our telecon
070805 - on 000216 that he wants to publish some of my writing on the MS web
070806 - for public domain use. ref SDS 57 0001
070807 -
070808 - Advise that I do not wish to join MSL and so do not give permission
070809 - for any publication of my work in the public domain without
070810 - attribution. ref DIT 1 8096
070811 - ..
070812 - SDS, Com Metrics and POIMS provide a path for using technology
070813 - to augment human thought processes, which is most easily understood as
070814 - an advance on alphabet technology.  The last time this happened was
070815 - about 2,000 years ago, reported on 991108. ref SDS 42 5628  People can
070816 - review Welch publications, and can experience "intelligence" on the
070817 - Internet to assess and advance the ideas.
070818 -
070819 - Experience indicates SDS is unique capability that implements POIMS
070820 - technology to support knowledge management, which I call Communciation
070821 - Metrics.  Perhaps it can help others make new advances, as the prior
070822 - alphabet technology has done for the past 2000 years.
070823 -
070824 -     On 980226 IBM announced an initiative to provide business
070825 -     intelligence, but there is no evidence they can or have done this.
070826 -     ref SDS 18 1247
070827 -
070828 -     On 980405 accountability is the primary criteria of management,
070829 -     yet managers fear this aspect of their work. ref SDS 20 5065  SDS
070830 -     provides "intelligence" that converts accountability for mistakes
070831 -     into credit for success. ref SDS 20 2839
070832 -
070833 -     On 990303 research in cognitive science indicates SDS is a unique
070834 -     design that augments human memory. ref SDS 27 0920
070835 -
070836 -     On 990625 experience shows SDS makes it possible to accomplish
070837 -     knowledge management practices which are strongly advocated, but
070838 -     impossible to carry out in daily work. ref SDS 37 3190
070839 -
070840 -     On 990625 executives fail to execute core knowledge management
070841 -     functions because limited time forces them to take short cuts.
070842 -     ref SDS 38 7344
070843 -
070844 -     On 990907 Dave Vannier at Intel reported that SDS on the Internet
070845 -     accomplishes the claims of POIMS. ref SDS 40 0149
070846 -
070847 -     On 991213 NSF rejected welch proposal on Com Metrics alleging
070848 -     Welch does not understand the knowledge management dilemma, but
070849 -     failed to set out a definition of knowledge, management, nor to
070850 -     delineate a dilemma. ref SDS 44 0844  This shows lack of knowledge
070851 -     even amoung professionals and academics, set out in POIMS.
070852 -     ref OF 2 1299
070853 -
070854 -     On 991217 a professional event on Knowledge Management was
070855 -     attended by people with the title "Director of Knowledge
070856 -     Management" who work at large firms and universities around the
070857 -     world.  None of these people could articulate the meaning of
070858 -     knowledge, intelligence, nor knowledge management.  They wanted
070859 -     tools for performing their work, without having an understanding
070860 -     about the nature of the work. ref SDS 45 9030
070861 -
070862 -     On 000113 discussion with the president of a leading knowledge
070863 -     management organization showed there is lack of awareness among
070864 -     professionals about how to accomplish "knowledge management," and
070865 -     there is no indication they are getting close to understanding.
070866 -     ref SDS 48 3098
070867 -
070868 -     On 000116 Morris advised there is nothing at Intel that
070869 -     accomplishes SDS capability. ref SDS 49 0877
070870 -
070871 -     On 000120 a Colloquium at Stanford University assembled industry
070872 -     academic, and technology professionals to develop a dynamic
070873 -     knowledge repository (DKR).  They request information on design
070874 -     requirements. ref SDS 50 3002
070875 -
070876 -     On 000227 a member of the Colloquium reported having observed SDS
070877 -     being used, and found that it is the best personal knowledge
070878 -     management capability available. ref SDS 59 0897
070879 -
070880 -     Work on the web the past several years, and interacting with
070881 -     colleagues at US research laboratories, universities, government
070882 -     and industry, have not revealed a single instance of anyone using
070883 -     "knowlege management," set out in POIMS. ref OF 2 0561  This
070884 -     indicates work being done by others on knowledge management is
070885 -     theoretical.  SDS has been working for 15 years.  This record
070886 -     suggests SDS is a unique capability that is a difficult
070887 -     accomplish.
070888 -
070889 -
070890 - I sent a copy to Steve Raiff, ref DIT 1 7480, per planning on 000218.
070891 - ref SDS 58 5184  The copy bounced back, so I sent a follow up to
070892 - Andrius asking him to forward to Steve.
070893 -
070894 - Sent copy to Dick Karpinski and to Morris.
070895 -
