181302 -

1816 - Discussion
1817 -
181701 - Initially talked to Jack.
181702 -
181703 - There is a lot of common ground on our sense about KM and opportunity
181704 - for SDS to play a constructive role.  Efforts so far to develop an
181705 - architecture for the DKR/OHS have lacked follow up.  Jack's skill and
181706 - experience developing The Scholar's Companion," and especially the
181707 - graphical mapping technology he has developed add critical value to
181708 - any KM tool.
181710 -  ..
181711 - When he arrived at the SRI meeting last week, Eric was reading the
181712 - record of our discussion on 000503 concerning KM development ideas for
181713 - SDS, submitted in my letter to Jack on 000504. ref SDS 11 6789 There
181714 - was not time for them to discuss it.
181716 -  ..
181717 - We noted that Doug's request in his letter on 000419 for the "seed"
181718 - team (us) to start thinking about developing a role for contributing
181719 - after SRI assumes a stronger presence. ref SDS 6 4964  Jack noted that
181720 - SRI still has legal issues on scope of open source arrangements, per
181721 - meeting on 000324. ref SDS 4 3055  Thus,

182109 - discussed with Eric on 000504. ref SDS 13 1320
182111 -  ..
182112 - Eric has a difficult time following links in SDS records, confirming
182113 - understandings on 000504. ref SDS 13 1739
182115 -  ..
182116 - He thinks it is great for Welch, but the reader does not know which
182117 - link to click. Morris made the same point on 990424. ref SDS 2 0558
182118 - They are at one on this matter, and so should be able to discuss
182119 - technical ideas about how to improve this part of the design.
182121 -  ..
182122 - I stepped him through the record on 000503 explaining ideas for moving
182123 - ahead with a knowledge management effort to support the DKR.
182124 - ref SDS 11 6903
182126 -  ..
182127 - He still feels the list of add on features for developing Enterprise
182128 - Management is a good direction for the DKR effort, as shown in the
182129 - record on 000423. that ref SDS 8 8000
182131 -  ..
182132 - He said at the last meeting Lee Iverson really gave the project team a
182133 - solid direction.
