570904 -
570905 - On 071222 Morris submitted a letter requesting essential features of
570906 - SDS. ref SDS 26 PX5H  This had been submitted previously on several
570907 - occasions. ref SDS 26 R84L  At that time on 071222, SDS functions were
570908 - listed to explain POIMS criteria. ref SDS 26 6P9J  Gary also listed
570909 - SDS features again in another letter received the same day on 071222.
570910 - ref SDS 26 LX8M
570912 -  ..
570913 - Later on 080104 Morris related in a telephone call difficulty
570914 - understanding the scope of SDS.  He asked why people have difficulty
570915 - developing tools for Knowledge Management? ref SDS 27 EM9F  Case study
570916 - on 080127 was cited in a letter to Morris answering his question.
570917 - ref SDS 29 MP4M
570919 -  ..
570920 - Additionally, on 080104, Morris cited discussions with Jack Park
570921 - attributing "Knowledge Management," "intelligence," and "Communication
570922 - Metrics" evident in SDS records that is not seen in work product
570923 - created with other technologies is due to Rod's good "memory,"
570924 - ref SDS 27 QS6O, and to Rod's "diligence." ref SDS 27 XB3G
570926 -  ..
570927 - Difficulty understanding the SDS design has led to several false
570928 - starts updating the SDS program to run on 64-bit processors and the
570929 - Microsoft operating system, Vista for this new microprocessor.  On
570930 - 080124 Morris reported starting over again trying another software
570931 - development platform. ref SDS 28 W05L  This makes the 13th design
570932 - platform considered for SDS. ref SDS 28 WG5G
570934 -  ..
570935 - On 080124 Morris submitted samples of initial work product for the SDS
570936 - Windows application. ref SDS 28 FW4J  The sample records conflict with
570937 - requirements for flexible structure discussed continually since
570938 - 070907. ref SDS 28 HZ5O
570940 -  ..
570941 - The letter to Morris on 080128 suggested reviewing an article by
570942 - Vannevar Bush article published in 1945, and shown in the record on
570943 - 960304. ref SDS 1 L47F   Bush sets out goals for using computers to
570944 - support daily management, which have been applied in the SDS design
570945 - using flexible structure, and which today can be summarized by the
570946 - notion of "Knowledge Management." ref SDS 30 M37Y
570948 -  ..
570949 - On 080206 Morris reported having fun using Ruby on Rails (ROR) Java
570950 - software development technology.  This tool makes hard work of
570951 - experimenting to test ideas fast and easy, and so seems to reduce the
570952 - level of diligence needed to get things done. ref SDS 31 RR3F  On
570953 - 080315 Morris abandonded work produced with Ruby on Rails; he is
570954 - starting over with code to use Ruby alone for a development platform.
570955 - ref SDS 33 9G41
570957 -  ..
570958 - On 080206 Morris proposed using a "modern" editor to update SDS to the
570959 - 21st century by constraining scope of work to tasks familiar to people
570960 - who use wordprocessing, email, and fill in dialog boxes for Internet
570961 - communications, along the lines used at Kaiser. ref SDS 31 RR47
570963 -  ..
570964 - On 080206 Morris continued to struggle with frustrations learning the
570965 - purpose and application of SDS, as distinct from familiar tools for
570966 - wordprocessing, email, scheduling, diary, and spreadsheets.
570967 - ref SDS 31 ND8N  Morris related cultural forces from long experience
570968 - using conventional information technologies does not provide
570969 - convincing evidence to create code for flexible structures required
570970 - for SDS support of POIMS technology that supports Knowledge
570971 - Management, intelligence support, and Communication Metrics.
570972 - ref SDS 31 6F9G
570974 -  ..
570975 - There was strong resistance to using the new SDS Windows application
570976 - tools to help design and build the program. ref SDS 31 RR67  This
570977 - conflicts with the way SDS was originally developed, noted by Morris
570978 - on 010924. ref SDS 9 NK4J
570980 -  ..
570981 - On 080318 Morris asked who has recognized SDS support for Knowledge
570982 - Management. ref SDS 33 UW3L
570984 -  ..
570985 - A letter to Pat Lincoln on 080315 commended an SRI presentation
570986 - explaining the purpose and background of Knowledge Management
570987 - technology to "augment intelligence." ref SDS 32 HG6F  This letter
570988 - cited Doug Engelbart's contributions beginning in 1962, and further
570989 - referenced the Bush article in 1945. ref SDS 32 PU8K  A copy was
570990 - submitted to the SDS development team, including Gary, Morris, and
570991 - Jack. ref SDS 32 PU8K
570993 -  ..
570994 - Difficulty remembering these very near term "trails of associations"
570995 - for 3 days from 080315 to Morris asking on 080318 about Doug's work,
570996 - underscores the need for SDS to improve memory and management of daily
570997 - work, because the tools for publishing documents, which Morris
570998 - proposes to substitute for an SDS Windows application, presented on
570999 - 080206, ref SDS 31 HE6N, cannot find anything, noted by Morris on
571000 - 080318. ref SDS 33 GZ7J
571002 -  ..
571003 - Weeks later on 080415, a letter commented on the power of alphabet
571004 - technology. ref SDS 34 DQ6L  The response explained SDS expands the
571005 - power of knowledge with support for alphabet technology adding
571006 - dimensions of time and context. ref SDS 34 YU9L

571016 - This record suggests loss of direction for the project because people
571017 - do not understand...

571019 -            knowledge
571020 -            information

571022 -
571023 - ...as distinct processes in sufficient measure to build tools, which
571024 - reflects prior difficulties on 000503, ref SDS 4 5033, and later on
571025 - 000615 at SRI. ref SDS 5 6271  Same problem occurred at IBM, reported
571026 - on 001130. ref SDS 6 F26K  The case study on 020608 shows broad
571027 - difficulty understanding cognitive processes well enough to construct
571028 - tools. ref SDS 13 CC6J  As a result, people have given up on Knowledge
571029 - Management, shown by case study on 070126. ref SDS 20 QH8L
571031 -  ..
571032 - Gary's record cited in his letter today received below, ref SDS 0
571033 - 054Y, notes SDS rests on a theory of knowledge distinguished from
571034 - traditional information tools for publishing documents. ref SDS 35

571042 - Experience Document Publishing Prevents Transformation Flexible Structure
571043 -
571044 - Experience publishing documents with information tools prevents
571045 - understanding requirements for knowledge tools.  Since "intelligence"
571046 - processing that converts information into knowledge occurs on
571047 - automatic pilot in the human mind, ref OF 3 V57N, people are not aware
571048 - from experience handling information in documents of steps that need
571049 - to be addressed by software code to support Knowledge Management.
571050 - Second, cultural forces of peer pressure organizational inertia
571051 - prevent people from gaining experience using knowledge tools in order
571052 - to discover that these tools complement information technologies for
571053 - publishing professional documents, explained on 080206. ref SDS 31
571054 - 6F9G
571056 -  ..
571057 - This was previously discussed with the team on...
571058 -
571059 -        1.  Morris planned to write up requirements
571060 -            and specifications to guide SDS

571063 -             ..
571064 -        2.  Experience using SDS helps understand
571065 -            meaning and scope of "knowledge" in
571066 -            relation to building effective tools;
571067 -            lack of understanding has
571068 -            caused prior Knowledge
571069 -            Management projects
571070 -            to fail........................... 070907, ref SDS 22 RW8H
571072 -             ..
571073 -        3.  Experience using SDS helps avoid
571074 -            difficulties that caused other
571075 -            projects to fail trying to create
571076 -            Knowledge Management

571079 -             ..
571080 -        4.  Knowledge Management projects have
571081 -            all failed because inexperience
571082 -            prevents people from understanding
571083 -            requirements and agreeing
571084 -            about what to

571094 -        6.  SDS features submitted previously
571095 -            many times requested again because
571096 -            understanding scope of SDS support
571097 -            for Knowledge Management is hard
571098 -            without experience using SDS
571099 -            that makes capturing, organizing

720422 -             ..
720423 -        2.  SDS rests on a theory of knowledge set out in POIMS,

720425 -            tools for publishing documents. ref SDS 35 0049  This
