1113 - Summary/Objective
1114 -
111401 - Follow up ref SDS 16 0000, ref SDS 10 0000.
111402 -
111403 - Sent ref DIT 1 0001 to Jack Park citing letter from Eric Armstrong,
111404 - ref DRP 2 0001, which approves Lee Iverson's submittal on use case
111405 - guidance for software projects, ref DRP 1 0001, illustrates difficulty
111406 - making progress developing a DKR and OHS capability, per the record
111407 - yesterday. ref SDS 16 0001 and ref SDS 16 0673
111408 -
111409 -      [On 000503 Eric cites miscommunication the past weeks about the
111410 -      meaning of a knowledge repository. ref SDS 17 0672
111411 -
111412 - Explain I am behind on project correspondence due to the trial I have
111413 - been hearing as a juror, which finished yesterday. ref SDS 15 0001
111414 - ..
111415 - Submit information on possible meeting with LANL week of 000521,
111416 - ref SDS 14 0001, and invite Jack to attend. ref DIT 1 6090
111417 -
111418 - Thanked Jack for citing the Welch work, ref DIT 1 2064, in his letter
111419 - on 000426 as providing proof of concept for DKR. ref SDS 13 3315
111420 -
111421 - Noted that Lee's submission provides important guidance for project
111422 - management, ref DRP 1 0002, but does not say anything about knowledge
111423 - management, ref DIT 1 4489, so an endorsement by the lead architect of
111424 - the DKR project presents a disconnect with the requirements for
111425 - producing knowledge management capability, as set out in the record on
111426 - 000427. ref SDS 16 1462
111427 - ..
111428 - Since the DKR already partially exists, as noted by Jack in his
111429 - letter to the team on 000426, ref SDS 13 3315, failure to study SDS,
111430 - POIMS and Communication Metrics, along with others Jack cited,
111431 - reflects a cultural disconnect, ref DIT 1 4489, that blinds engineers
111432 - to a development path that offers a huge opportunity for open source
111433 - development, as set out in the record on 000423 answering Eric's
111434 - question about add ons for the core capability. ref SDS 10 8000
111435 -
111436 - On 990527 Morris cited cultural forces that prevent engineers at Intel
111437 - from recognizing and using SDS. ref SDS 2 1233
111438 - ..
111439 - Explain difficulty understanding KM and why the SDS design is a
111440 - secret, ref DIT 1 0674, citing theory of "intelligence" in POIMS.
111441 - ref OF 1 0561 that is missing in industry, ref OF 1 5820, per letter
111442 - to Morris on 000425. ref SDS 12 0480
111443 -
111444 -     [On 000503 Eric recognizes "knowledge" as a marketing buz word,
111445 -     and needs support in order to guide development of KM tools for a
111446 -     DKR project. ref SDS 17 5033
111447 -
111448 - Noted Doug Engelbart's request on 000307, ref SDS 5 4820, and again
111449 - on 000419, ref SDS 8 4964, for SRI team to define knowledge, based on
111450 - example of Bellinger, ref DIT 1 0540, per action item on 000407.
111451 - ref SDS 6 2805  Lack of action shows lack of understanding about
111452 - knowledge and the importance of defining it in order to create tools
111453 - to manage it, rather than just put the word "knowledge" in email and
111454 - specs adnauseum.
