121201 - In a discussion the other day, I asked Gary about progress using SDS
121202 - capabilities for Communication Metrics, planned in the letter on
121203 - 040402. ref SDS 4 TO8V

121206 - Gary explained using more headlines, which is one of the eight (8)
121207 - steps for Communication Metrics, cited on 001219. ref SDS 3 Y76G
121209 -  ..
121210 - Gary indicated context management with the SDS Subject Index is a work
121211 - in progress.  He related recent difficulty finding a record he created
121212 - on 040921 that lists subjects in the Foundational Documents.
121213 - ref SDS 5 0001  He had identified his record in the Subject Index for
121214 - using Perl scripts, which was correct, but on the day he needed to
121215 - find the record, situational awareness, explained in POIMS,
121216 - ref OF 6 KH8J, guided his thinking to search for a subject related to
121218 -           ..
121219 -          controlled vocabulary using a glossary or thesaures of
121220 -          terminology in the SDS Foundational documents.

121236 - Gary indicated these Subject Indexes can help construct a controlled
121237 - vocabulary, glossary, and thesaures of terminonly in SDS Foundational
121238 - Documents.

121245 -     support to facilitate meetings. ref SDS 10 6H7M
121247 -  ..
121248 - Gary feels the problem of finding critical details can be solved by
121249 - using the Subject Index to implement Doug Engelbart's ideas on
121250 - multiple views.  New tools in SDS for managing context have been
121251 - created the past few years for constructing and applying multiple
121252 - views.  An example, is the binary search feature developed on 050303
121253 - that strengthens precision access for solving the problem Gary had
121254 - finding his record on 040921. ref SDS 6 C16D  Today, we did a few
121255 - experiments to demonstrate this support.
121257 -  ..
121258 - We reviewed the challenge of cognitive overhead that presents a
121259 - Knowledge Management dilemma, discussed recently on 050517.
121260 - ref SDS 7 HE9U
121261 -
121262 -     [On 050722 example burden of cognitive overhead drives comedy of
121263 -     errors on big DOD project getting fouled up; management degrades
121264 -     to entropy because nobody has command and control of the record.
121265 -     ref SDS 9 PK6Y
121267 -  ..
121268 - Gary's assignment presents limitations on using SDS according to the
121269 - design for working intelligently, as defined in POIMS. ref OF 3 1X6G
121270 - He feels that lack of demand for accuracy in the work product for
121271 - Boeing's project makes the plan, perform, report design of SDS that
121272 - supports the management cycle, also, explained in POIMS, ref OF 6
121273 - 6649, seem unnecessary.
121275 -  ..
121276 - The indication is that Gary uses SDS mainly to write up the record in
121277 - the manner of conventional meeting minutes, without organization,
121278 - alignment, analysis, summary, and getting feedback for accuracy,
121279 - explained in POIMS. ref OF 3 0367

121281 -     [On 050722 Gary has a new assignment to attend high level meetings
121282 -     as a focal representative, ref SDS 9 QG62, and to prepare minutes
121283 -     for another set of meetings. ref SDS 9 R28J
