441001 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 10 4L73.
441002 -
441003 -    1.  Subject: Conversation with Paul Lowe
441004 -        Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2004 14:05:49 -0800
441005 -        From: "EXT-Johnson, Garold L"
441006 -        To: "Rod Welch (E-mail)"
441007 -
441008 -        Rod,
441010 -         ..
441011 -    2.  I hope this comes closer to explaining where the situation
441012 -        stands. It is, mostly, positive.
441014 -         ..
441015 -    3.  =Conversation with Paul Lowe
441016 -
441017 -        a.  Paul called while he was sitting waiting for a flight.
441018 -
441020 -             ..
441021 -            Learning Purpose of SDS Similar to Content Management
441022 -            Teaching SDS Support CFISR Intelligence Context Management
441023 -
441024 -
441025 -        b.  He first referred to SDS as a "content management system",
441026 -            which is a tool to create HTML files for web sites.
441028 -  ..
441029 - Gary called this afternoon and seemed to indicate that "content
441030 - management" relates to tasks like maintaining an inventory of content
441031 - on Internet websites.
441033 -  ..
441034 - When people inquire and/or speculate about SDS, this presents
441035 - opportunities to educate, teach and lead.
441037 -  ..
441038 - For example, Content management could be construed to include "context
441039 - management," which SDS supports, as set out in POIMS. ref OF 6 1232
441041 -  ..
441042 - It is a simple matter to refer people to Steve's request on 031211 for
441043 - making links in SDS records active, ref SDS 7 5U6J, and to show
441044 - alignment with published literature on theory and practice for
441045 - organizational memory in SDS foundational documents. ref OF 3 01TU
441046 - Application of SDS theory in POIMS can be correlated with experience
441047 - working with SDS records.  Education, teaching, guidance is a key
441048 - dimension of transformation from information to a culture of
441049 - knowledge, discussed recently on 031211, ref SDS 7 PE80, and citing
441050 - planning on 020924. ref SDS 6 0001
441051 -
441052 -        [On 040229 reviewed requirements for continual education to
441053 -        enable continual learning that is the engine for transformation
441054 -        to a culture of knowledge by exposing people to experience that
441055 -        is explained by theory and practice in foundational documents.
441056 -        ref SDS 12 OX3N
441058 -  ..
441059 - Paul's feedback provides opportunity for "continual learning," called
441060 - out by the Tofflers, reviewed on 950911, which requires "continual
441061 - education," planned for this year on the Aerospace company project,
441062 - and described as a "2nd Act," reviewed on 040102. ref SDS 9 O97F
441064 -  ..
441065 - Gary continues..
441066 -
441067 -        c.  He mentioned Zope, which is a Python based system, and
441068 -            quite nice for what it is.
441070 -  ..
441071 - Zope was investigated by OHS/DKR group....

441076 -              effective for email............. 000504, ref SDS 3 3944
441078 -               ..
441079 -              Intelligence support

441082 -               ..
441083 -              Lee Iverson pilot testing
441084 -              Zope............................ 000518, ref SDS 4 3944
441086 -               ..
441087 -              Lee reports Zope difficult
441088 -              to implement; no evidence of
441089 -              support for intelligence........ 000525, ref SDS 5 3944
441091 -  ..
441092 - This record does not reveal the purpose of Zope.
441093 -
441095 -         ..
441096 -        Intranet SDS on Local Server Approval Planning by Paul Loew
441097 -
441098 -
441099 - Gary continues...
441100 -
441101 -        d.  I explained that SDS supported automatic contexts in its
441102 -            linking, bi-directional links with prior records of related
441103 -            events, etc., and that, as nice as Zope is, it isn't nearly
441104 -            the same thing as SDS.
441106 -             ..
441107 -        e.  Paul thinks there may be a way to have a local server
441108 -            (local intranet) legally. This would imply that, once SDS
441109 -            is approved for use at all, we would be able to publish to
441110 -            the local intranet.
441112 -             ..
441113 -        f.  This is essentially certain for the classified LAN, since
441114 -            we are already running huge servers on that, and will need
441115 -            several flavors of collaboration software.
441117 -  ..
441118 - Collaboration software has been discussed in the record since about
441119 - 2000, when Doug Engelbart initiative the OHS/DKR requirement, with the
441120 - notion of "collective IQ, reviewed on 991222. ref SDS 1 9167
441121 - ref SDS 1 KI49  SDS enables Knowldge Space, explained in POIMS,
441122 - ref OF 3 034J, that supports similar sounding goals using work
441123 - practices for Communciation Metrics.
441125 -  ..
441126 - Gary continues....
441127 -
441128 -        g.  Paul believes that with all the rest of the work we are
441129 -            doing, that creating a local intranet on the unclassified
441130 -            LAN can also be done legally.
441132 -             ..
441133 -        h.  Whether Paul can find a way to have local intranets
441134 -            legally, in a year or so, he will have completed the
441135 -            requirements for becoming a Aerospace company Associate Technical
441136 -            Fellow, and one of the perks of that title is that he is
441137 -            allowed to have a server on the Aerospace company intranet for his own
441138 -            research.
441140 -         ..
441141 -    4.  ==Summary
441143 -         ..
441144 -    5.  Paul thinks that there is a way to create local intranets, both
441145 -        classified and unclassified.
441147 -         ..
441148 -    6.  Once the intranets exist legally, all that is needed is to get
441149 -        SDS approved for use on Aerospace company equipment.

AD1205 -    7.  Gil Caughman is researching all the relevant policy, and he
AD1206 -        understands that we intend to get formal approval to use SDS on
AD1207 -        Aerospace company equipment, which is the second part of the total
AD1208 -        equation.
AD1210 -         ..
AD1211 -    8.  In short, there are now people working specifically on the 2
AD1212 -        major blocks to being able to use SDS to publish records to a
AD1213 -        local Aerospace company intranet -- something I haven't been able to get
