4815 -
481501 - Follow up ref SDS 82 0000, ref SDS 81 0000.
481502 -
481503 - Jack reports progress on developing code for OHS.  Have not seen
481504 - architecture, but doing initial code will reveal ideas for developing
481505 - design.
481507 -  ..
481508 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record congratulating Jack on
481509 - getting started.

481901 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jack Park reporting progress developing
481902 - code for OHS.
481904 -  ..
481905 - Jack says his OHS project continues.  The spirit of the project rests
481906 - on the notion that it is time for many to build variants of an OHS, so
481907 - that we will have lots to compare and discuss once a "real" OHS gets
481908 - off the ground. ref DRT 1 EP6F
481909 -
481910 -     Why isn't the issue, not a "real" OHS, but rather....
481911 -
481912 -         How will this OHS project improve Jack's "knowledge" work, and
481913 -         by extension help others do their work?
481915 -          ..
481916 -         Will it materially augment intelligence, save time and money,
481917 -         etc.?
481919 -          ..
481920 -         Need typical day scenario showing application, as previously
481921 -         requested on....

481926 -  ..
481927 - Jack's version holds everything to be part of an OHS.  He separates
481928 - three categories, as described by Lee Iverson:, ref DRT 1 XI6J
481929 -
481930 -     1.  Context -- user stuff
481931 -
481932 -     2.  Content -- raw data
481934 -          ..
481935 -     3.  Knowledge -- ontologies, etc
481937 -  ..
481938 - Jack says....
481939 -
481940 -    I have combined Content and Knowledge into what I call the
481941 -
481942 -                         DKR: dynamic
481943 -
481944 -    ...because everything (in my version) is represented internally as
481945 -    topic maps in a relational database. ref DRT 1 UI7G

481948 -            [On 010322 Jack submits JTMS which he says is persistant in
481949 -            a relational data base. ref SDS 89 QG4O
481951 -         ..
481952 -        What does the DKR do, as a sub-element of OHS?
481954 -         ..
481955 -        DKR = content and knowledge, so what is "knowledge"?
481957 -         ..
481958 -        How do we know we have "knowledge," rather than more
481959 -        information, per analysis of KMI on 010315? ref SDS 88 A45G
481961 -     ..
481962 -    Context comprises, ref DRT 1 KJ7K,....

481972 -           [On 010329 Jack advises that SDS stands for something like
481973 -           "Structured Dialog System." ref SDS 90 XZ4K
481975 -     ..
481976 -    Later, there will be
481977 -
481978 -
481979 -                 •  TSC,
481980 -                 •  Augment, etc, tabs.
481982 -  ..
481983 -    The common interlingua between Context and DKR is XML messages,
481984 -    with the "cargo" written in XTM format. ref DRT 1 MM7N
481985 -
481986 -        How does this relate to his ideas on 010223, ref SDS 82 0001,
481987 -        and previously on 001130? ref SDS 54 0001
481989 -     ..
481990 -    Context, called client, talks to a DKR server, which couples client
481991 -    to jLinda4, a Linda-like coordination system. ref DRT 1 FO8H

481993 -        Where are architecture steps for vision, marketing and
481994 -        engineering feasibility, which Jack proposed on 000426 be
481995 -        undertaken before writing code. ref SDS 32 0304
481996 -
481997 -            On 010313 letter to Eugene Kim, and the OHS/DKR team noted
481998 -            that OHS/DKR is proposed for advancing a....
481999 -
482000 -                       "whole new way of thinking,"
482001 -
482002 -            .... ref SDS 87 9T7L, based on review of Doug's BI web site
482003 -            on 991222. ref SDS 23 3696
482005 -             ..
482006 -            How does the work today align with this vision or goal?
482007 -
482009 -         ..
482010 -        Have these steps been done?
482012 -         ..
482013 -        Nothing wrong experimenting with initial code to test and
482014 -        formulate conceptual framework, if that is what is occurring.
482016 -         ..
482017 -        Need explanation of correlation between SDS and the other
482018 -        elements, including IBIS, Topic Maps.  Explain the idea
482019 -        like....
482020 -
482021 -             Here is an SDS record reviewing development of OHS.
482022 -
482023 -             We hit the IBIS tab and do thus and so in relation to the
482024 -             SDS record.
482026 -              ..
482027 -             Then we hit the Topic Maps tab and do such and such to
482028 -             the IBIS and to the SDS record.
482030 -              ..
482031 -             Then we jump back to SDS and discuss IBIS and Topic Maps
482032 -             in the following way....
482034 -              ..
482035 -             Then we.....
482037 -     ..
482038 -    From there, DKR, which is also a jLinda4 client, process
482039 -    persistence and knowledge issues. By coordinating with jLinda4, the
482040 -    system can accept many clients, and many DKR servers. In some
482041 -    sense, jLinda4 becomes a kind of Von Neumann bottleneck.  Film at
482042 -    11...on that one:-)
482043 -    ..
482044 -    Progress to date, ref DRT 1 IO8O,.....
482045 -
482046 -        got client and server to talk to jLinda4.
482047 -
482048 -        Client and server (prior to addition of jLinda4) already could
482049 -        manipulate topic maps: display them, create and edit them, and
482050 -        delete them from the database.
482052 -         ..
482053 -        Now, to get the tuples working!
482054 -
482055 -           Where is CPM showing tasks, assignments and completion date?
482056 -
482058 -     ..
482059 -    It is my hope that others will begin hacking their own rendition of
482060 -    an OHS as soon as possible. ref DRT 1 XO9J
482061 -
482062 -        If this does not occur, however, would it affect Jack's
482063 -        efforts one way or the other?
482064 -
482065 -        Why not just build what we need?
