451005 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Dave answering my letter asking a few
451006 - questions, ref DIP 2 0001, submitted yesterday. ref SDS 67 VR5J
451008 -  ..
451009 - Dave explains he learned about Com Metrics by....
451010 -
451011 -      ....searching Google for help with a printer problem.... One of
451012 -      your documents showed up.  I saw all the line numbers, details,
451013 -      and links and was intrigued. ref DRT 1 I35N
451014 -
451015 -      I think I remember stumbling across a similarly formatted doc
451016 -      some months ago, was equally intrigued, but never followed up.

451020 - This is another example of the "leveraged knowledge" Pat Lincoln at

451026 -
451027 -      I can't think of one specifically, aside from the standard
451028 -      Journal and Discussion templates, but.....
451029 -
451030 -      I may be interested in developing a simple prototype.  Before
451031 -      doing so, I'd need to learn more about the basic functional
451032 -      requirements, some of the mechanics, and more about the big
451033 -      picture, w.r.t. [Communication Metrics] CM, ref DRT 1 P46M

451037 - Lifestream Correlation with SDS and Com Metrics
451038 -
451039 - Dave mentions LifeStreams is an interesting technology that relates to
451040 - KM.  He has found from recent research that it has transformed into a
451041 - commercial product: ref DRT 1 UR4F
451042 -
451043 -      Lifestreams was reviewed on 000331 and showed awareness about the
451044 -      importance of time for organizing an effective record.
451045 -      ref SDS 21 5946
451047 -       ..
451048 -      Subsequent work by David Gelertner reviewed on 000710 expanded
451049 -      the discussion about time. ref SDS 27 7565
451051 -  ..
451052 - There is no record that Gelertner has produced work product that
451053 - demonstrates the ability to implement these ideas.

451060 - SDS Design Criteria Suited for Lotus Notes....
451061 -
451062 - Dave says....
451063 -
451064 -      I'm curious about the line numbers, the sections in a doc, and
451065 -      the front-end used to manage and index all the docs.  On the
451066 -      surface, it appears ideally suited for Notes. ref DRT 1 U87L
451068 -  ..
451069 - Everyone is curious about line numbers, explained in the record on
451070 - 940901. ref SDS 7 9009
451072 -  ..
451073 - SDS design is proprietary.  Arrangements for obtaining SDS design
451074 - criteria can be negotiated.

451080 - Lotus Notes Applied to Full Potential by 10% of Users
451081 -
451082 - Dave explains....
451083 -
451084 -      After 10 years delivering Lotus Notes solutions to many
451085 -      commercial corporate organizations, I can truthfully say that
451086 -      less than 10% leverage that platform for what it is capable of
451087 -      delivering simply in the area of structured and unstructured
451088 -      information management, along the lines of what I from you.
451090 -       ..
451091 -      I'd be interested in changing that. ref DRT 1 OM9F
451093 -  ..
451094 - Dave seems to be saying that 10% of LN users are getting its full
451095 - potential.  Presumably, Dave is among this group, and he indicates
451096 - that nobody using LN has accomplished SDS capability for supporting
451097 - Com Metrics to improve daily management.
451098 - ..
451099 - This aligns with IBM's report on 941114 that SDS integrates a
451100 - variety of management technologies. ref SDS 9 5380   Analysis on
451101 - 950607 cited prior reports that LN does not have SDS capability.

451106 - Military Respects Effective Communication
451107 - Com Metrics Value Added Evident from Command/Control of Record
451108 -
451109 -
451110 - Dave observes....
451111 -
451112 -      The detail and 'richness' of your reply, ref DRP 6 0001, is clear
451113 -      evidence of the value of [Communication Metrics] CM.  I have
451114 -      always been verbose in most communication, as I feel it is
451115 -      demanded by the nature modern communications, and, as an engineer
451116 -      (EE) respect and appreciate technology immensely.  Unfortunately,
451117 -      with just a few exceptions, my observations have been that this
451118 -      'respect and appreciation' (and utilization) is only done in the
451119 -      military. ref DRT 1 OR8G
451121 -  ..
451122 - The military has a long tradition of managing big complex operations
451123 - that require care in understanding and following up on details in
451124 - order to increase the chances of being successful, embodied in the
451125 - role of "intelligence." see POIMS, ref OF 1 5820, and NWO. ref OF 2
451126 - 4099,
451128 -  ..
451129 - More generally, literacy used for confirmation of understandings and a
451130 - record of follow up, improves communication, for the reasons reported
451131 - on 890809. ref SDS 4 CJ9J  Recently, Stuart Harrow reported on 010619
451132 - that DCMA wants to improve literacy in order to improve management,
451133 - which supports Dave's comments today. ref SDS 58 KWSQ
451135 -  ..
451136 - SDS strengthens literacy and traditional "intelligence" work by an
451137 - order of magnitude for the reasons reported on 950204. ref SDS 12 4995
451139 -  ..
451140 - Dave's lament that private enterprise has not yet discovered the value
451141 - of adding "intelligence" to management, see, also, NWO, ref OF 2 VS9I,
451142 - may, as well, be a marketing opportunity for improving productivity,
451143 - earnings and stock prices by using SDS to avoid continual bumbling, as
451144 - reported on 001207. ref SDS 35 MZ7G
451146 -  ..
451147 - Dave's experience working with the military reflects experience that
451148 - was applied in developing SDS.
