3411 - Summary/Objective
3412 -
341201 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000. ref SDS 8 0000.
341202 -
341203 - Pat is just back from vacation.
341205 -  ..
341206 - Pat has seen the transmittal letter in his email, per our telecon on
341207 - 030327, ref SDS 8 0001, but has not yet reviewed the endorsements.
341209 -  ..
341210 - We discussed briefly Gary's work using SDS on the  combat project at
341211 - Aerospace company, beginning on 030121. ref SDS 7 0001  This
341212 - experience using SDS enables Gary to learn by doing Knowledge
341213 - Management, which Henry van Eygan recommended to the OHS/DKR group on
341214 - 001126. ref SDS 2 0001 At that time, contributors chose to continue
341215 - trying to learn KM by using information technology with greater
341216 - diligence. ref SDS 2 4E3X  While this effort has failed, Gary's report
341217 - on 030413 shows promise of progress, and also broadens exposure of SDS
341218 - on the Internet that demonstrates viability of KM. ref SDS 10 0001
341219 - Work today using SDS to prepare a record of technical exchange
341220 - meetings held last week, is a good opportunity to further expand
341221 - exposure. ref SDS 14 0001
341223 -  ..
341224 - More exposure helps people feel comfortable about a new way of working
341225 - using a 3-layer architecture where people can continue using existing
341226 - tools and yet benefit from "intelligence" delivered anytime, anywhere,
341227 - as planned on 971021, ref SDS 1 3636, and considered more recently on
341228 - 020820. ref SDS 6 0001  Now that Gary is contributing at Aerospace company,
341229 - progress is picking up, as shown by his work today. ref SDS 14 AF8I

341236 -  ..
341237 - Pat received a copy of the proposal on SDS, ref DIP 6 0001, which was
341238 - submitted to Dave Snowden at IBM on 030417. ref SDS 12 0001
341239 -
341241 -  ..
341242 - Pat asked about action items for moving forward....
341243 -
341244 -           [On 030423 Pat indicates action items are doable.
341245 -           ref SDS 15 0001
341246 -
341247 -     1.  Issue the letter dated 020729, which was previously agreed
341248 -         upon, ref DRP 1 0001, during our meeting at that time.
341249 -         ref SDS 5 4K6G  All this requires is printing the letter on
341250 -         SRI letter head and signing it.
341252 -          ..
341253 -     2.  Edit and issue a more recent draft letter dated 030417,
341254 -         ref OF 10 0001, and sent to Pat last week, ref SDS 11 KO5O, to
341255 -         recognize new research following our meeting on 020729,
341256 -         ref SDS 5 9O5O, and which explains why progress on KM has
341257 -         slowed, ref OF 10 ER8H, how SDS solves the problem,
341258 -         ref OF 10 K55F, why a solution is needed, ref OF 10 076L, and
341259 -         sets specific goals for advancing. ref OF 10 XN4I
341261 -          ..
341262 -         Consideration might be given to issuing the letter to his
341263 -         boss, rather than to Rod.  However, the key step is to first
341264 -         make this an official SRI document so it is a resource that
341265 -         Pat and others can rely on for next steps.
341266 -
341267 -             [On 030429 Pat cites a project at SRI where the draft can
341268 -             be issued. ref SDS 17 KZ3W
341270 -              ..
341271 -             [On 030520 Pat has reviewed draft endorsement and submits
341272 -             comments. ref SDS 22 OF4F
341274 -              ..
341275 -             [On 030521 Pat submits further comments on draft
341276 -             endorsement. ref SDS 23 PR6Y
341277 -
341279 -          ..
341280 -     3.  Under the agenda to "Study What Works," ref OF 10 UQ6V, rather
341281 -         than issue the draft endorsement, publish the draft as an
341282 -         article in a professional journal to spread the good news
341283 -         that, unlike Dave's article reviewed on 020608 that says KM
341284 -         has substantially failed to meet expectations, ref SDS 4 ZN6I,
341285 -         SRI can report that KM is being done every day, 24-7, and the
341286 -         math indicates that KM exceeds expections, as related in the
341287 -         draft. ref OF 10 U44M
341288 -
341289 -             [On 030507 cited this action in follow up letter to Pat.
341290 -             ref SDS 18 F06N
341292 -          ..
341293 -         Pat observed that SDS ability to make linking fast and easy is
341294 -         an enabling force for KM, because creating links using other
341295 -         tools takes so much time that it discourages people from using
341296 -         linking as a routine part of communication, and this prevents
341297 -         discovering added value, so there is no progress.  This point
341298 -         is presented in the new draft. ref OF 10 Q49I
341299 -
341300 -             [On 030510 Gary submits example and analysis of using
341301 -             citations to footnotes in a traditional bibliography to
341302 -             replace links. ref SDS 19 5M73
341304 -              ..
341305 -             [On 030520 draft endorsement illustrates solution to Pat's
341306 -             concern about difficulty using links. ref SDS 22 RJ39
341308 -          ..
341309 -     4.  Work on the foundation idea to develop funding for Welch to
341310 -         continue publishing SDS records that demonstrate KM is a
341311 -         workable idea, as related in the draft, ref OF 10 XN4I,
341312 -         reported in the record on 030417. ref SDS 11 JF8M
341313 -
341314 -             [On 030429 Pat cites a project at SRI where the draft can
341315 -             be issued. ref SDS 17 KZ3W
341317 -              ..
341318 -             [On 030516 Pat reported that setting a foundation for KM
341319 -             is outside his area. ref SDS 20 BW3J
341321 -              ..
341322 -             [On 030519 discussed incentives that drive people toward
341323 -             information and away from information, which means that
341324 -             for a long period of transformation, people need guidance
341325 -             and examples that light the way to a new way of working.

341327 -
341329 -          ..
341330 -     5.  Send a letter to Dave Snowden confirming SRI's experience with
341331 -         SDS, as related in Pat's letter dated 020729 and such
341332 -         information that may seem worthwhile from the draft
341333 -         endorsement dated 020416. ref OF 10 0001  This would
341334 -         complement support from Ross ********* at *** discussed on
341335 -         030406, ref SDS 9 PK6J, and by Gary at Aerospace company,
341336 -         discussed on 030419. ref SDS 13 Q633
341337 -
341338 -            [On 030428 Dave reported he is not convinced by reading
341339 -            email that claims for SDS support of KM are true.
