AE0466 -            Kaiser was fined $2 million last year for mismanagement of
AE0467 -            a new kidney-transplant unit.  Delays in transferring
AE0468 -            medical records and information about the amount of time
AE0469 -            patients had spent on transplant waiting lists slowed the

AE0475 -            Kaiser a list of steps needed to correct the problems it
AE0476 -            found, steps that will cost an estimated $10 million to $13
AE0477 -            million to implement.  If Kaiser completes those steps by
AE0478 -            the time the department conducts a follow-up survey late
AE0479 -            next year, the HMO won't have to pay $1 million of the

AE0482 -             ..
AE0483 -            The steps include establishing a uniform system for having
AE0484 -            physicians review complaints at the medical centers and
AE0485 -            report them to the health plan's headquarters.  Kaiser also
AE0486 -            must create a process that allows the organization's
AE0487 -            management to keep tabs on changes in clinical practices at

AE0492 -            Kaiser has agreed to draft a uniform set of standards for
AE0493 -            peer review, audit physician peer review programs to ensure

C20459 -    When building intranet web applications, I recommend making it very
C20460 -    easy to allow your users to tell you what they think.  If you are
C20461 -    reading this blog, you know how important instant simple feedback
C20462 -    is to web sites, their value, and the trust of their community.
C20464 -     ..
C20465 -    I've been using SharePoint lists for this quite a bit.  I often
C20466 -    put a "Click Here to Submit Feedback" link on all the portal pages
C20467 -    I build.  However, about six months ago this AJAX rebirth inspired
C20468 -    me to make that experience even less intrusive.
C20470 -     ..
C20471 -    Here is what I did.  I used a SharePoint issue list and some AJAX
C20472 -    code and now users can provide feedback without disrupting their
C20473 -    thought process.
C20475 -     ..
C20476 -    One neat thing about this approach is that it uses SharePoint's
C20477 -    built in web services which support POST and GET verbs.  When done
C20478 -    over an intranet it uses the current user's security context.
C20480 -  ..
C20481 - Westin provides a lot of code for creating feedback support.
C20483 -  ..
C20484 - There is no discussion of resistance to feedback, explained in NWO,
C20485 - ref OF 17 2670, and illustrated by the record on 961017. ref SDS 8
C20486 - 0880  On 980307 Andy Grove's book "Only the Paranoid Survive" notes
C20487 - experience working at Intel shows that feedback questions are not fun
C20488 - but are essential for good management. see ref SDS 10 0261  However,
C20489 - people get mad learning that others interpret communications
C20490 - differently, set out again on 961017, ref SDS 8 5832, and giving

C20495 - AJAX Asynchronous JavaScript and XML Web Page Technology

C20497 - Research found Wikipedia says...
C20498 -
C20499 -              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)
C20500 -
C20501 -    AJAX, is a web development technique used for creating interactive
C20502 -    applications.  The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive
C20503 -    by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the
C20504 -    scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded
C20505 -    each time the user requests a change.  This is intended to increase
C20506 -    the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.
C20508 -     ..
C20509 -    The name is an acronym standing for Asynchronous JavaScript and
C20510 -    XML.  Ajax is asynchronous in that loading does not interfere with
C20511 -    normal page loading.  JavaScript is the programming language in
C20512 -    which Ajax function calls are made.  Data retrieved using the
C20513 -    technique is commonly formatted using XML, as reflected in the
C20514 -    naming of the XMLHttpRequest object from which Ajax is derived.
C20516 -     ..
C20517 -    Ajax is a cross-platform technology usable on many different
C20518 -    operating systems, computer architectures, and Web browsers as it
C20519 -    is based on open standards such as JavaScript and XML, together
C20520 -    with open source implementations of other required technologies.

C20531 -    Ruby on Rails (ROR) is a full-stack framework for developing
C20532 -    database-backed web applications according to Model-View-Control
C20533 -    pattern.  From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in
C20534 -    the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails
C20535 -    gives you a pure-Ruby development environment.  To go live, all you
C20536 -    need to add is a database and a web server.

C20547 -     ..
C20548 -    PHP In Web programming, Personal Home Page (PHP) is a script
C20549 -    language and interpreter, similar to JavaScript and Microsoft's
C20550 -    VBScript, that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web
C20551 -    servers. PHP (the initials come from the earliest version of the
C20552 -    program, which was called "Personal Home Page Tools") is a
C20553 -    cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP)
C20554 -    technology (which runs only on Microsoft's Windows NT servers). As
C20555 -    with ASP, the PHP script is embedded within a Web page along with
C20556 -    its HTML. Before the page is sent to a user that has requested it,
C20557 -    the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations
C20558 -    called for in the PHP script. An HTML page that includes a PHP
C20559 -    script is typically given a file name suffix of ".php" ".php3," or
C20560 -    ".phtml". Like ASP, PHP can be thought of as "dynamic HTML pages,"
C20561 -    since content will vary based on the results of interpreting the
C20562 -    script.
C20564 -     ..
C20565 -    PHP is free and offered under an open source license.

CM0408 - Jack's recent letter on 070501 explains Topic Maps in relation to
CM0409 - SDS...
CM0410 -
CM0411 -        I would argue, absent any other knowledge of SDS, that its main
CM0412 -        functionality is that of the fabrication and maintenance of a
CM0413 -        graph structure; even if that's just tables with rows and
CM0414 -        columns, it can still be thought of as a graph; indeed SDS
CM0415 -        records are clearly relational.  That leaves me to wonder just
CM0416 -        what value-add a subject map would bring to the graph, if any.
CM0417 -        Don't know. ref DRT 1 HF56
CM0419 -  ..
CM0420 - Explaining SDS in terms of "records" is a big step from data and
CM0421 - information to recognizing "stories" comprise the record of history
CM0422 - for daily work.  In 10 years, even next year, next month, next week,
CM0423 - tomororw, today will be "history." Jack previously described SDS in
CM0424 - his letter on 001130 as having the right structure for knowledge and
CM0425 - the interface to make the structure useful to people. ref SDS 15 H17O
CM0427 -  ..
CM0428 - Recognizing SDS records are relational aligns with Morris' comments on
CM0429 - 910810 describing SDS hybrid design that integrates relational and
CM0430 - hierarchial structures. ref SDS 4 7793  On 031215, Gary Johnson
CM0431 - discussed details of the SDS hybrid data base design. ref SDS 21 0D8M
CM0432 - A year later on 040622, Cliff Joslyn described SDS relational design,
CM0433 - and suggested advantages of mathematical grounding. ref SDS 25 Y94S

DS0413 -        restrictions on how you represent subjects; thus, I am able to
DS0414 -        be a bit more, in my terms, elegant in the ways in which I
DS0415 -        describe and represent subjects.  No real magic here; after

DS0425 -
DS0426 -        I suspect that SDS is as rigorous about subject identity as
DS0427 -        subject maps are, except that it's source of subjects is a lone
DS0428 -        ranger hacking away at a keyboard, whereas a subject map can be
DS0429 -        the target of zillions of sources of subjects, all of which
DS0430 -        must be managed, federated, and so forth.  Maybe there's
DS0431 -        something like a "group" SDS, but I suspect the particular
DS0432 -        discipline necessary to make SDS work is not for everybody.
DS0433 -        Just guessing. ref DRT 1 495J
DS0435 -  ..
DS0436 - Zillions of sources requires tools and practices to manage subjects in
DS0437 - useful ways for finding information in time to get things done.  SDS
DS0438 - demonstrates demonstrates routine use of subjects finding details for
DS0439 - making connections that verify accuracy.
DS0441 -  ..
DS0442 - Case study on topic maps mostly from Jack's correspondence is reported

DS0446 -  ..
DS0447 - Slow acceptance of SDS transformation to a culture of knowledge was
DS0448 - reviewed on 070126. ref SDS 32 JH4U
DS0450 -  ..
DS0451 - Case study on 070126 indicates all three major elements of knowledge
DS0452 - management that entails capturing the record, adding orgainzation
DS0453 - (meta data, subjects, ontology, etc.), and adding connections with
DS0454 - links have so far proven elusive, with the result that Knowledge
DS0455 - Management has been dumbed down to conversation and mentoring.
DS0456 - ref SDS 32 QH8L
DS0458 -  ..
DS0459 - Sources for subjects in SDS comes from daily working information, in
DS0460 - this case a letter from Jack, and then mental judgement about
DS0461 - correlations for association with existing structures in the Subject
DS0462 - Index, and where none seem to exist, then a new subject is created.
DS0464 -  ..
DS0465 - SDS reduces the effort, discipline and dilligence required to perform
DS0466 - Knowledge Management, Communication Metrics, and intelligence support.
DS0467 - Paradoxically this empowers people to invest more time productively
DS0468 - that makes everybody productive for getting things done, noted in
DS0469 - Jack's letter today, per above. ref SDS 0 QR9M  SDS support for
DS0470 - context management using the subject index fits the model of
DS0471 - accounting, science, medicine, engineering, sales, teaching, etc.,
DS0472 - where people learn complementary skills that improve productivity of
DS0473 - others.
DS0475 -  ..
DS0476 - Jack's feeling that context management is not for everybody aligns
DS0477 - with comments on 020920 that linking is not for everybody, ref SDS 19
DS0478 - 0E62, noted again on 020924. ref SDS 20 RN6X  Similarly, mathematics,
DS0479 - chemestry, physics, journalism, novels are not for everybody, but
DS0480 - everybody uses paper and pencils.  People will develop various levels
DS0481 - of skills with SDS.  Not everybody will perform links and context
DS0482 - management, but those who do will help others who don't, per review of
DS0483 - Vannevar Bush article, below. ref SDS 0 TM5N
DS0485 -  ..
DS0486 - This has the sense of giving up on context management, similar to
DS0487 - giving up on linking, and giving up on analysis, i.e., writing up the
DS0488 - record of meetings, calls, and documents.  In other words, people are

DS0533 - Jack in his letter today, per above, ref SDS 0 RB5M, is resisted, not
DS0534 - because of difficult physical labor, but because constructing subjects
