1505 - Summary/Objective
1506 -
150601 - Follow up ref SDS 5 0000.
150602 -
150603 - We have been discussing how to share subject indexes.  The main
150604 - purpose of this record is to let Gary know the subjects for working on
150605 - this matter, which he has described as shared vocabulary, and which is
150606 - related to ontology, taxonomy, categories, classification, context
150607 - management, filing, records management, knowledgement, and so forth,
150608 - that SDS supports with organic structure, discussed in NWO.
150609 - ref OF 11 5846
150611 -  ..
150612 - There are three (3) issues...
150613 -
150614 -        1.  Investing time to organize by constructing the organic
150615 -            structure of context is one of the eight (8) steps for Com
150616 -            Metrics to work "intelligently," set out in POIMS,
150617 -            ref OF 6 QZ4K, for command and control of the work.
150618 -            ref OF 7 1113
150620 -             ..
150621 -        2.  Build shared meaning with subject descriptions that are
150622 -            common to a culture, e.g., two people, a group, team,
150623 -            project, department, organization, etc.
150625 -             ..
150626 -        3.  Technology that makes the mechanics of transferring
150627 -            accounts created by different people fast and easy for
150628 -            everyone to use without overwriting accounts created by
150629 -            others.
150631 -  ..
150632 - Gary can see organic struture assigned for this subject by looking at
150633 - the Control Field for this record.
150635 -  ..
150636 - First, however, would be interesting for Gary to try a test by looking
150637 - up subjects before examining the Control Field, to see if he can find
150638 - his way to this record based on the "shared meaning" about the gist of
150639 - Gary's meaning for this subject.
150641 -  ..
150642 - If not successful, he can report the steps that didn't work for
150643 - consideration to expand the index paths.
150645 -  ..
150646 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary saying...
150647 -
150648 -    1.  I would like us to add some SI entries that are the same for
150649 -        both of us to support discussions of the development of
150650 -        controlled language for our discussions of KM in general and
150651 -        SDS in particular. The entries should also relate to the the
150652 -        ongoing efforts to refine and / or add to the foundational
150653 -        documents. ref DRT 1 0001
150655 -         ..
150656 -    2.  During the process, think about this as a general issue -- how
150657 -        do we develop and share some common set of SI entries among
150658 -        groups of users (assume for the moment that we all share in the
150659 -        development so there is shared discussion). ref DRT 1 SI5O
150661 -  ..
150662 - On 930331, this was reviewed on a related matter. ref SDS 1 YH9F
150664 -  ..
150665 - On 021106 more work on standardizing subjects was analysed to address
150666 - the kind of goals Gary describes. ref SDS 2 522G
150668 -  ..
150669 - Gary continues...
150670 -
150671 -    3.  This is needed as a way to support common ways of searching for
150672 -        records across multiple users in a single group. ref DRT 1 ZI6K
150674 -         ..
150675 -    4.  Consider, for example, what would be desirable if I were able
150676 -        to get several more people in this group to use SDS.
150677 -        ref DRT 1 OI6O
150678 -
150679 -           1.  Shared subjects for discussion of SDS issues and
150680 -               operations. ref DRT 1 OI6O
150682 -                ..
150683 -           2.  Shared subjects for general combat, and specific MS&I
150684 -               topics. ref DRT 1 6J7K
150686 -  ..
150687 - Shared subjects are a staple of daily life, but this requires shared
150688 - culture.  Records management has been around along time.
150690 -  ..
150691 - DOD has thick manuals showing where to file information.  The IG once
150692 - a year makes inspections to provide guidance on putting papers in one
150693 - file folder or another.  They inspect for when documents should be
150694 - archived.  Likely, the same is true for the Justice Department, State,
150695 - Agriculture, etc.  Bureaucracy is designed to standardize organization
150696 - of information, documents and file folders.
150698 -  ..
150699 - Gary continues...
150700 -
150701 -           3.  Private subjects that could become shared as people work
150702 -               in their own specific areas (possible shared with a
150703 -               small group and then with the larger community).
150704 -               ref DRT 1 UH7J
150706 -         ..
150707 -        We won't be tackling this soon, but I do want some additional
150708 -        shared subjects now, and we do need to think about sharing in
150709 -        the longer term. ref DRT 1 UH7E
150711 -         ..
150712 -    5.  See my record on May 25, 2004 04:15:31 PM. ref SDS 4 0001  It
150713 -        has references to the earlier discussions. ref DRT 1 Q48K
150715 -         ..
150716 -    6.  The problem of SI collisions, ref DRT 1 X48O, is discussed on
150717 -        November 25, 2002 07:10:01 AM. ref SDS 3 UH6H

170408 -
170409 - Gary has asked where foundational documents define SDS terminology
170410 - that correlates knowledge, experience, history, organizational memory,
170411 - intelligence, investing intellectual capital, capturing the record,
170412 - etc.
170414 -  ..
170415 - Submitted an email saying...
170416 -
170417 -    1.  POIMS correlates good management with organizational memory,
170418 -        intelligence, experience, knowledge, history. ref OF 3 1X6G
170420 -         ..
170421 -    2.  "Good management" applies organizational memory that adds power
170422 -        to traditional notions of "work history," "experience," and
170423 -        "knowledge" by using tools and practices (SDS and Com Metrics 8
170424 -        steps) for "connecting the dots" to track and maintain cause
170425 -        and effect, and an overlay of organic structure for managing
170426 -        context with granular precision. These added capabilities
170427 -        supported by SDS justify using "organizational memory" to
170428 -        describe the content of Knowledge Space, per NWO. ref OF 12
170429 -        PWVQ
170431 -         ..
170432 -    3.  Terminology is further delineated on org memory, intelligence,
170433 -        history, etc., near the end of the para in POIMS that defines
170434 -        "reporting," which says...
170435 -
170436 -            "Work product from investing intellectual capital is
170437 -            described variously as intelligence, analysis, reporting,
170438 -            knowledge, personal and organizational memory, the
170439 -            "record," the "story," history, experience, information,
170440 -            or, even, a "knowledge repository." ref OF 5 E14J
170442 -         ..
170443 -    4.  New World Order Needs Old Time Religion (NWO) also lists common
170444 -        terms in SDS foundational documents. ref OF 12 7M4G
170446 -         ..
170447 -    5.  We are saying these words are loosely used interchangeably in
170448 -        various settings, and SDS provides functions for accomplishing
170449 -        the general aim of augmenting intelligence.
170451 -         ..
170452 -    6.  Maybe Woody would consider this distinction to redress concerns
170453 -        about confusing a Aerospace company phrase for "corporate memory,"
170454 -        reported on 041013. ref SDS 6 WM49
