110407 -
110408 -    3.  There is a new function for the SI reported on 040527,
110409 -        ref SDS 16 0001,.that led to requirements for flexible
110410 -        structure of Knowledge Space to meet the need for organization
110411 -        to make finding critical knowledge fast and easy, commonly
110412 -        called "enlightenment." ref SDS 16 IZ3N
110414 -         ..
110415 -    4.  Notice then, to continue our discussion from yesterday, that
110416 -        flexible structure, defined on 890523, ref SDS 1 P13O, and
110417 -        again more recently on 040513, ref SDS 11 B56I, is an
110418 -        indispensable component for making linking useful, because the
110419 -        predicate to effective links is an established order to
110420 -        maintain both permanence and a logical, intuitive, self-evident
110421 -        navigation process for positioning (i.e., storing) and finding
110422 -        information quickly and easily, again under the rule Morris
110423 -        laid down on 010425, where everything is in the right place at
110424 -        the right time, ref SDS 4 EP7F, summarized by the concept of
110425 -        "Knowledge Space."  In the same way that continual learning and
110426 -        traceability to original sources are complementary elements of
110427 -        the human intelligence process, reviewed on 950721, ref SDS 2
110428 -        6883, so, too, flexible structure of Knowledge Space is an
110429 -        external analog for replicating the organizing power of human
110430 -        intelligence that enables people to connect the dots of cause
110431 -        and effect, because everything is in the right place at the
110432 -        right time.  By definition, knowledge of causation empowers
110433 -        people to predict future consequences.
110435 -         ..
110436 -    5.  While SDS makes linking faster and easier than using other
110437 -        tools, and provides helpful tools to construct and apply
110438 -        organic structure for context management, listed in your
110439 -        proposal for the Aerospace company Architecture Committee, reviewed on
110440 -        040513. ref SDS 11 UO7G, an equally critical dimension of a
110441 -        connected record, in addition to granular addressability, is
110442 -        positioning that enables finding things quickly and
110443 -        permanently.  This requirement can only be met with a
110444 -        foundational requirement for a flexible structure of Knowledge
110445 -        Space that advances traditional use of dimensional space, as
110446 -        set out on 960620, ref SDS 3 3516, and further explained in
110447 -        POIMS. ref OF 3 034J
110449 -         ..
110450 -    6.  POIMS cites requirements for a critical mass of capabilities to
110451 -        augment intelligence. ref OF 5 2688  Without critical mass,
110452 -        there is no advance.
110454 -         ..
110455 -    7.  The concern you raised about introducing a new term, like
110456 -        Knowledge Space, to a group of expert engineers for information
110457 -        technology, is well appreciated, based on your report that
110458 -        there is a file that already has over 5000 acronyms.  Adding
110459 -        another new term for "Knowledge Space" could well be the "straw
110460 -        that breaks the camel's back."  Therefore, an explanation to
110461 -        the Architecture Committee can set out requirements, and say
110462 -        that Welch summarizes SDS capabilities that support these
110463 -        requirements, with the term "Knowledge Space," but to avoid
110464 -        burdening the record, Aerospace company can use "Paperless Office," or
110465 -        "Virtual Office," or "Aerospace company Space," etc.

381907 -        the preliminary nod to work with Aerospace company's support team for the
381908 -        ACE system, is very welcome news on making progress to develop
381909 -        intranet support for SDS records on the project, which you set
381910 -        as an action item to M&S management in a letter on 040402,
381911 -        ref SDS 9 3O8U, based on the plans cited in commenting on your

381918 -        transformation from information to a culture of knowledge that
381919 -        grows demand for SDS.

390407 -   10.  Yesterday, we discussed the exercise you and Gil are doing to
390408 -        compare SDS support for Com Metrics that augments intelligence
390409 -        to enable consistent use of good management practice, defined
390410 -        in POIMS. ref OF 3 1X6G
390412 -         ..
390413 -   11.  You mentioned that Aerospace company has set Microsoft Sharepoint as a
390414 -        "standard" for "collaboration."  We looked at the record on
390415 -        020822 showing analysis indicates Sharepoint supports markedly
390416 -        different aspects of collaboration from SDS. ref SDS 5 H2YS

390419 -   12.  Line AR1236 has a link to the record on 020920 that reviews IBM
390420 -        programs, including Lotus Notes, which provide support similar
390421 -        to the Microsoft Sharepoint program. ref SDS 6 LW3K
390423 -         ..
390424 -   13.  The features and requirements for Microsoft and IBM programs
390425 -        may help development the proposal to the Architecture Committee
390426 -        for considering SDS, shown in your record on 040525. As you
390427 -        mentioned, it would be a big help to collaborate with a member
390428 -        of the committee to clarify scope for submitting an effective
390429 -        presentation on SDS support for collaboration.
