111002 -
111003 - A request today by Eric Armstrong for help finding information offers
111004 - a "use case" for training people to use SDS, based on Gary's report
111005 - that "organic structure" is difficult to learn. ref SDS 0 B1C5  Gary's
111006 - experience reflects research showing that context management takes
111007 - time to learn because organizing information is a very complex task,
111008 - as much "art" as it is "science." ref SDS 0 6M54  Eric's question
111009 - provides a vehicle for explaining how to set up a new SDS record and
111010 - find information that augments intelligence. ref SDS 0 6M68 and
111011 - ref SDS 0 V63K  The steps for creating knowledge structures that
111012 - enable multiple views, ref SDS 0 7652, can help new users learn the
111013 - processes for using intuition to navigate paths in the Subject Index
111014 - within a time horizon that prevents most people from getting
111015 - discouraged and giving up. ref SDS 0 6O8R and leading ultimately to
111016 - answering Eric's question, which is the objective of the exercise.

111401 - Background On Procedures Using SI and Create New Records
111402 -
111403 - A few days ago Gary Johnson submitted a series of letters with ideas
111404 - for improvements to SDS and also listed some problems he has
111405 - encountered using the program. ref SDS 21 0001
111407 -  ..
111408 - I called later that day and Gary explained difficulties using the
111409 - Subject Index that are not listed in his letter, but are implied by
111410 - his work product.
111412 -  ..
111413 - Gary has done a great job learning the steps for using SDS to create
111414 - deliberative analysis and headlines that enrich information through an
111415 - effective "story," cited in POIMS, ref OF 1 2300  He has begun using
111416 - links that accomplish the step for alignment and contrast.  Adding
111417 - Control Fields using F1 F6 and the Subject Index to organize records
111418 - into multiple views using segments, or "chunks" of memory, is another
111419 - part of "intelligence" cited in POIMS. ref OF 1 0367, which makes
111420 - finding information fast and easy and empowers people to discover
111421 - correlations, implications and nuance from seeing patterns of
111422 - repeatable chronologies that reveal cause and effect over time, which
111423 - is otherwise overlooked.  This is step 5 in the 8 steps for using SDS
111424 - explained on 001219. ref SDS 8 4W4L
111426 -  ..
111427 - Experience with adding record sgements will help address the problem

111445 -          for "indexing key words" and "organic subject structure" to
111446 -          analyse alignment.  Gary has assigned a common subject, 07
111447 -          CG, that sets correlation which can be refined at a lower
111448 -          level in the Subject Index.  Often information developed on
111449 -          the same date and on the same subject is integrated and cross
111450 -          referenced with links to explore alignment and distinctions

111458 - Every paragraph is a potential record segment.

111461 - Since there is not enough time to analyse records in this level of

221205 -    Knowledge Management Dilemma Solved by Using SDS Subject Management
221206 -
221207 -    Gary indicated in our call that using the Subject Index is a big
221208 -    challenge, which supports Jack Park's letter on 000221 notifying
221209 -    the OHS/DKR team about research he had discovered that shows the
221210 -    diversity of human experience together with the organic structure
221211 -    of existence make organizing information into useful context, which
221212 -    he called "ontology," a Pandora's box of complexity. ref SDS 5 L58O
221213 -    At this beginning stage of advancing toward "Knowledge Management,"
221214 -    creating and using organic subject structures to find information
221215 -    entails "art" and science, as set out in POIMS. ref OF 1 6221  SDS
221216 -    increases the speed of doing KM, as experience is gained performing
221217 -    the craft of creating and assigning subjects.
221219 -     ..
221220 -    I am focusing on getting other people to gain this experience,
221221 -    because experience is the only way to make the task fast and easy.
221223 -     ..
221224 -    Managing context reflects the dilemma of sharing "knowledge" that
221225 -    is a bigger cognitive challenge for collaboration to identify
221226 -    common subjects than merely sharing information.  That is why
221227 -    creating technology to advance beyond IT begins with understanding
221228 -    the difference between information and knowledge, posed to the
221229 -    OHS/DKR people on 000120. ref SDS 4 5063  The paper on the....

221234 -
221235 -    ...relates with humor that over many millennia technology has
221236 -    evolved powerful ways to transfer information, beginning with the
221237 -    invention of spoken language, ref DIP 1 U77L, and later literacy,
221238 -    ref DIP 1 006P; but, it is much harder to send experience that
221239 -    enables shared meaning.  People organize, use and look for the same
221240 -    information differently because everyone's experience is different,
221241 -    related on 890523. ref SDS 1 WN6J and particularly at ref SDS 1
221242 -    UP4U  The fact that people give up because improving communication
221243 -    is complex, reviewed on 931130, ref SDS 3 3851, merely compounds
221244 -    dilemma because better communication that is very difficult to do,
221245 -    very much needs doing, as discussed with Greg Oxton on 030107.
221246 -    ref SDS 19 FQ4N
221248 -     ..
221249 -    Today, we can work on solving this knowledge management dilemma by
221250 -    explaining steps to create a new SDS record.  A letter from from
221251 -    Eric Armstrong on the OHS/DKR effort makes a good "use case" to
221252 -    study the process of organizing information as one part of adding
221253 -    intelligence to the record, since Gary is familiar with work on
221254 -    OHS/DKR.

260602 - New Record or Template Record
260603 -
260604 - The first issue is whether to make an SDS record or to just send Eric
260605 - an email with comments that may be helpful to him.
260606 -
260607 -       [On 020314 Gary reported this explanation of setting up a new

260612 -       [On 030119 called Gary and provided support using these
260613 -       instructions, per his request on 020314. ref SDS 23 B1C5
260615 -  ..
260616 - This question was decided roughly as follows....
260617 -
260618 -    1.  Received letter from Eric asking for specifications he and
260619 -        others have prepared on OHS/DKR over the past several years.
260621 -         ..
260622 -    2.  Started writing a response, then realized it has quite a few
260623 -        links and some commentary that could be better conveyed in an
260624 -        SDS record, and it seemed like it might come up again based on
260625 -        Eric's letters on 010916, ref SDS 11 KA6H, and later on 020718
260626 -        where Eric described how to use "categories" to organize
260627 -        information so people can find information. ref SDS 12 0001
260629 -         ..
260630 -    3.  After deciding to create an SDS record to analyze the general
260631 -        issue of finding information, and to provide information Eric
260632 -        wants, then decided to use F1 to create a "blank" new task,
260633 -        rather than look for a prior related event to create the new
260634 -        task in the Schedule, because nothing jumped out at me as a
260635 -        good candidate to use as a template record, since there has
260636 -        been little work with Eric the past year or so, despite efforts
260637 -        to work with him, e.g., on 000517. ref SDS 6 0001  I know from
260638 -        experience that once I begin assigning organic subject
260639 -        structure, and start doing the record a lot of candidates will
260640 -        become visible that could be used as a template.  The thing
260641 -        that swayed the decision toward starting from scratch was the
260642 -        secondary objective of creating a training record sample.
260644 -  ..
260645 - As a result of points 1 - 3 pressed F1 in the Schedule and started a
260646 - new record.

280604 -
280605 - The first thing to do in any record is to assign the subject, i.e.,
280606 - what is the context of the information.

280616 -  ..
280617 - This occurs in two steps.
280619 -  ..
280620 - The first step is to identify primary control for receiving new
280621 - information into the record.  Once this is done, we can go ahead and
280622 - create the entire record, then come back and assign more subjects.

340905 -
340906 -     An easy way to get started deciding about a subject is to choose
340907 -     the broadest possible subject and then focus on "people," because
340908 -     "people" are a very common and fundamental way of associating
340909 -     information.

340913 -         ref SDS 22 B1C5
340915 -      ..
340916 -     Since Eric's letter talks about specifications for the OHS/DKR
340917 -     project, right away I have triangulated an initial subject.
340918 -
340919 -         OHS/DKR, Eric Armstrong, Specifications
340921 -      ..
340922 -     I could just as easily have thought of this as...
340923 -
340924 -         Eric Armstrong, OHS/DKR Specifications
340925 -
340926 -     ...or, as...
340927 -
340928 -         Eric Armstrong, Projects, OHS/DKR Specifications
340930 -      ..
340931 -     ...but, in this case, I know from experience that the only
340932 -     association in the record on Eric is with OHS/DKR.  Even if I
340933 -     started with Eric as the primary control in the Contacts Subject
340934 -     Index, that path will naturally navigate to his association with
340935 -     OHS/DKR.  So, it is 6-of-one or half-a-dozen of the other to wind
340936 -     up in the same place.
340938 -      ..
340939 -     To find the subjects for the OHS/DKR work, there are two choices,
340940 -     so I need to rely on remembering the gist of information.  I can
340941 -     look in....
340942 -
340943 -            Projects...................... 03
340944 -            Jobs.......................... 04

340946 -     ...where a "job" is a small project.
340948 -      ..
340949 -     I have a vague memory of associating OHS/DKR information under
340950 -     account 04, and so take a chance and click into that organic
340951 -     structure.  The frustrating part of remembering anything is to
340952 -     pick a primary subject that pops into the mind and it turns out to
340953 -     have nothing associated with current objective and context.  The
340954 -     mind experiences trauma of feeling totally lost when there is not
340955 -     a shred of association in the primary subject selection, because
340956 -     often there is nothing that comes to mind as an alternative.
340957 -     These natural frustrations augur for a dedicated role to perform
340958 -     this work, which is similar to a personality that is willing to
340959 -     chase down pennies in a billion dollar financial statement to
340960 -     ensure everything is in balance.
340962 -      ..
340963 -     Once in the 04 account, the OHS/DKR has immediate visibility, so
340964 -     it is obvious at that point that to get details on OHS/DKR, I can

410506 -     occurs.  That is about how long it takes to find things with other
410507 -     methods.  Delaying action for 15 - 30 minutes discourages people
410508 -     from investing time to be prepared, related in POIMS, ref OF 1
410509 -     SK7L, for making action effective now and in the future when
410510 -     people cannot find anything in the archives, as Eric reported on
410511 -     000824. ref SDS 7 7O9I  With SDS, these steps so far take about 5
410512 -     seconds.  That is a lot of cost savings, based on Eric's report on
410513 -     010916 that nobody can find anything using other methods.
410514 -     ref SDS 11 KA6H  Some people are unwilling to invest 5 seconds for
410515 -     being prepared, but many people change their attitude about using
410516 -     good management if action is only delayed 5 seconds, rather than
410517 -     30 minutes.
