091114 -     Your recent work developing requirements for an OHS helps foster a
091115 -     culture of knowledge that aids the transition from IT to KM.  How

091134 -
091135 -    There's definitely large overlap between our respective documents,
091136 -    even more so than apparent, as I've shared many good design
091137 -    discussions with Eric and benefitted from his insight.  That's why
091138 -    I singled out Eric, along with a few others, in my introduction.

091143 -    I made an effort to describe a smaller, but more general
091144 -    system than Eric did by limiting the scope of the system somewhat,
091145 -    ref DRT 1 KA8L, and by separating everything into three elements --
091146 -    the.....

091148 -                    Use Cases,
091149 -                    requirements, and
091150 -                    scenarios.
091151 -
091152 -        Eric's specs are quite broad, and therefore offer a "general
091153 -        system" that applies widely, as reported on 000505. ref SDS 30
091154 -        0001
091155 -
091156 -        Eugene should provide an example or scenario to illustrate how
091157 -        his system is more general.
091158 -
091159 -            What limitations are evident in Eric's proposal, that are
091160 -            solved by Eugene's requirements.
091161 -
091162 -        On 001122 Eric Armstrong reported snags in the architecture he
091163 -        is developing; a letter to Eric recommended simplyfying his
091164 -        design, as the best way to launch a KM development project,
091165 -        when starting from scratch, ref SDS 72 WP8H, as Eugene is
091166 -        planning today.
091167 -
091168 -
091169 - Eugene's OHS requirements include Use Cases and Scenarios.....
091170 -
091171 -    The first two elements are abstractions of the system. Every
091172 -    requirements comes out of at least one of the Use Cases. Every
091173 -    scenario can be satisfied with one or more Use Cases.  The Use
091174 -    Cases and requirements documents can be refined, but I think the
091175 -    greatest added value is in fleshing out the scenarios document.
091176 -    This will help give people a better picture of the system as a
091177 -    whole. ref DRT 1 QD9G

091191 -
091192 -    I've also tried to be more formal in my software design
091193 -    methodology, so technical commentary and lingo, for the most part,
091194 -    is outside of the Use Cases, requirements, and scenarios. Technical
091195 -    stuff should go into a specification, pieces of which exist in
091196 -    various documents here and there.
091197 -

091207 -

091215 - Eugene then says....
091216 -
091217 -    Your records are inaccurate.  At that meeting, I asked Eric why he
091218 -    called his requirements "CDS" and not "OHS."  His response was that
091219 -    he wasn't sure if his requirements were the same as the ones for
091220 -    the OHS, and that he didn't know the difference between the terms
091221 -    "OHS" and "DKR."  I suggested at the time that he just call his
091222 -    stuff "OHS requirements" anyway, but I was in no official position
091223 -    to sanction them as the "official" OHS requirements, and I'm
091224 -    currently in no position to do that for my own set of proposed
091225 -    requirements. ref DRT 1 VU4L
091226 -
091227 -        Eugene's report of having suggested at the time of the meeting
091228 -        on 000615 that Eric just call his stuff "OHS requirements"
091229 -        anyway, ref DRT 1 NN5M, substantially aligns with the record.

091231 -        ..
091232 -        Eugene's feedback coorborating the record on 000615, and
091233 -        providing corrections on 001015, help refine accuracy for
091234 -        effective KM, noted on 000518, ref SDS 34 O43M, citing Peirce's
091235 -        work reviewed on 000515, holding that complete accuracy is not
091236 -        possible, and must be continually refined. ref SDS 32 7380, to
091237 -        foster a culture of knowledge for transitioning from IT to KM,
091238 -        cited on 010201. ref SDS 88 4Y9O  Feedback is discussed in

091241 -           [On 010313 thank Eugene for feedback. ref SDS 89 0001
091242 -
091243 -        The record on 000615 indicates that Eric Armstrong attended the
091244 -        meeting at SRI, and that he noted Eugene has developed a
091245 -        prototype DKR, ref SDS 36 4194, which is exemplified by
091246 -        Eugene's report on 010131. ref SDS 87 XZ8G  Earlier on 000504,
091247 -        Eugene reported to the team on his work developing a DKR.
091248 -        ref SDS 29 0784
091249 -
091250 -        Eugene's characterization of information in his letter today as
091251 -        showing that the SDS record on 000615 is "inaccurate," is not
091252 -        supported by the record.
091253 -
091254 -        There is no record of Eric having made comments attributed to
091255 -        him during the meeting on 000615, by Eugene's letter today.  A
091256 -        contemporaneous record showing the context of dialog, together
091257 -        with other cooborative correspondence from Eric and others
091258 -        surrounding the meeting on 000615, helps refine accuracy on
091259 -        what Eric said and intended 8 months ago.  The SDS record
091260 -        submitted within a few days of the meeting has not been
091261 -        previously corrected, and so nominally stands, with the
091262 -        notation of Eugene's input today.
091263 -
091264 -        For example, Eugene's report today that Eric was unsure about
091265 -        the difference between OHS and DKR is supported by Eric's
091266 -        letter on 000120, asking about the scope of DKR. ref SDS 16
091267 -        3002  Later on 000208 Eric requested assistance to understand
091268 -        the "core" of KM capability. ref SDS 17 0001  Closer to the
091269 -        meeting on 000615, on 000503, Eric was more pointed in refusing
091270 -        to address "knowledge" which is central to a DKR. ref SDS 28
091271 -        5033  This context seems to support Eugene's report today that
091272 -        Eric was confused about the meaning of "DKR."
091273 -
091274 -        It is not clear why Eric would make a statement about whether
091275 -        his CDS requirements were the same as the ones for the OHS,
091276 -        since at the time of the meeting on 000615, there was no other
091277 -        set of requirements for OHS, and the purpose of the project was
091278 -        to develop such requirments toward preparing specs and actual
091279 -        products, as Eric related on 000227. ref SDS 18 0984
