BT1891 -    example, if we're trying to come up with a Use Cases document for a
BT1892 -    piece of software, five different Use Cases may be proposed in
BT1893 -    three different e-mails. However, if these nodes are properly
BT1894 -    categorized in each node, then a Use Cases view can be easily be

CE1007 -
CE1008 -    On 000125 Eri's letter requested information on Augment for the DKR
CE1009 -    design. ref SDS 7 0738
CE1011 -     ..
CE1012 -    On 000601 Eric asked for a description of Augment data structures
CE1013 -    to expedite requirements for email system, ref SDS 55 5992, set
CE1014 -    above, as project top priority, ref SDS 61 2760, as a predicate or
CE1015 -    concurrent with prototype software multiple views. ref SDS 61 7238
CE1017 -     ..
CE1018 -    Augment can expedite developing work product for funding, per
CE1019 -    Marcello Hoffman's report on 000601, ref SDS 55 3824, and Doug's
CE1020 -    call for a prototype to demonstrate project objectives. ref SDS 61
CE1021 -    7238
CE1023 -     ..
CE1024 -    Earlier on 000330 Marcello reported that his research shows nobody
CE1025 -    has developed a Knowledge Management capability, and that Doug has
CE1026 -    a strong solution in Augment, which gives the DKR team an
CE1027 -    advantage. ref SDS 16 0713 and ref SDS 16 2075
CE1029 -     ..
CE1030 -    On 000426 Jack Park reported that Augment sets stage for DKR
CE1031 -    project, SDS on the Internet provides proof of concept for some
CE1032 -    aspects of a DKR. ref SDS 30 3315

CE1059 -        This is a system that authors love, because it is abbreviated
CE1060 -        and powerful. They grew with the system, adding complexity
CE1061 -        little by little.  New users find it confusing and difficult to
CE1062 -        remember -- not to mention unreadable.  This limits the user
CE1063 -        base. ref DRT 1 2992

CE1066 - Augment is a prototype, like the first airplane, steam engine,
CE1067 - telephone and so on.

CE1070 -     presented an architecture that puts Augment's view-control
CE1071 -     commands into a very central position in the OHS. ref SDS 76 546O

CE1074 -     [On 000825 Brian Lincoln explains some of the history of Augment
CE1075 -     NLS, and comments on planning for developing an OHS/DKR based on
CE1076 -     Augment NLS and Doug's ideas from the prior experience in the
CE1077 -     1960s. ref SDS 77 4T3N
