0907 - Summary/Objective
0908 -
090801 - Follow up ref SDS 30 0000 ref SDS 24 0000.
090802 -
090803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Jack responding to a recent letter he sent
090804 - on 011121 asking if I have considered applying for an SBIR grant to
090805 - develop SDS.  Jack's letter is only reported in this record.
090806 -
090807 - The letter today explains.....
090808 -
090809 -    1.  A big issue is what to do with funding?  I could pay the rent
090810 -        and the creditors, but the issue is what would an SBIR grant
090811 -        pay to perform? ref DIT 1 665N
090812 -
090813 -        Knowledge Management (KM) can be accomplished now with SDS
090814 -        better than other methods, per Eric's letter on 011003,
090815 -        ref SDS 29 EC5N, and the record on 000425. ref SDS 10 0480  So,
090816 -        funding is not needed to create KM.
090817 -
090818 -    3.  There are a great many things that could be done to improve
090819 -        SDS. ref DIT 1 B96K  Jack provided a list in a letter on
090820 -        001130. ref SDS 15 0001  My sense is that more experience is
090821 -        needed by people using SDS in order to refine perspectives on
090822 -        next steps, for the reasons cited by Morris Jones in a call on
090823 -        010924. ref SDS 28 XT5F
090824 -        ..
090825 -    4.  Morris has a good deal of experience getting approval
090826 -        from the government on patents.  His concern about people not
090827 -        being able to grasp what SDS is about, reflects experience
090828 -        submitting Com Metrics to NSF for an SBIR research grant.
090829 -        ref DIT 1 008G
090830 -
090831 -    5.  At that time, an NSF rep, who had occasion to interact with SDS
090832 -        on the Internet, recommended on 990615 that the proposal notify
090833 -        reviewers to open the proposal on the Internet, ref DIT 1 1L7O,
090834 -        rather than rely on the printed submission, because, SDS
090835 -        enables using intelligence for moving from traditional
090836 -        documents to a culture of knowledge, ref OF 2 K84L, that relies
090837 -        on "Knowledge Space." ref OF 2 1107  Joe said it is hard for
090838 -        people to grasp Knowledge Space, when they are reading an inert
090839 -        document, ref SDS 4 1044, as discussed with Eric Armstrong on
090840 -        000517 during a meeting at Intel. ref SDS 11 WA5L
090841 -
090842 -    6.  That is what Morris has in mind when he spoke on 010924 about
090843 -        nobody else having experience creating and using organizational
090844 -        memory. ref SDS 28 L17F  It is a different world, a new way of
090845 -        working, explained on 001219, ref SDS 16 FO5M, that has to be
090846 -        experienced. ref DIT 1 004K
090847 -
090848 -    7.  NSF reviewers did not have time to look at the proposal online,
090849 -        and so felt SDS could not be created, as reported on 991213.
090850 -        ref SDS 5 WR4J  This error is easily resolved by opening a few
090851 -        SDS links on the Internet, as Eric Armstrong noted on 010916.
090852 -        ref SDS 26 0001
090853 -
090854 -        NSF reported on 991213 that Rod does not grasp the KM dilemma.

220806 -        This presents a dilemma....
220807 -
220808 -        The only thing we need money for is to pay people to use SDS
220809 -        for saving time and money, ref DIT 1 00ES, so they can discover
220810 -        intelligence works better than pressing Reply on the email
220811 -        program, picking up the phone, or going to a meeting, as
220812 -        explained on 010908. ref SDS 25 YF5O  We need a grant to pay
220813 -        NSF, Eric and others to click on links long enough to acquire
220814 -        faith that intelligence to information to create knowledge, is
220815 -        more effective than relying on information alone. as reported
220816 -        on 011010. ref SDS 32 KS6G
220817 -
220818 -        Doug Engelbart seemed to agree in a telecon on 011120 that
220819 -        people need to spend several years using SDS in order to learn
220820 -        what doing KM means, i.e., what is entailed to create
220821 -        organizational memory and add intelligence, ref DIT 1 PG6N,
220822 -        then we will be ready to do some technology work. ref SDS 34
220823 -        H67I
220824 -
220825 -        So, that is a dilemma.
220826 -
220827 -        Is there a grant available for paying people to discover KM
220828 -        works better than IT?
220829 -
220830 -            [On 011202 Jack proposes using grant money to get a
220831 -            prototype SDS up and running; record shows SDS is already
220832 -            up and running.  Need is for deployment to add intelligence
220833 -            to business, government, law, education, health.

260506 -
260507 -        I plan to respond, but recognize the chances of SDS getting
260508 -        recognized among 5,000 - 10,000 submissions is minimal, given
260509 -        the prior record with NSF. ref DIT 1 00AU  Typically, agencies
260510 -        are not fond of independent developers, as NSF reported on

290609 -        in KM,  which is outside their experience? ref DIT 1 00CT
