1609 - Summary/Objective
1610 -
161001 - Follow up ref SDS 2 1067.
161002 -
161003 - Worked with Bill to create the Subject Index for the project, per work
161004 - on 940726. Main components are Controls, Organization, Engineer- ing
161005 - and Construction.
161006 -
161007 - Received at ref SDS 3 0000, contract between PG&E & CDWR. Advised
161008 - Bill I will review to develop subjects that reflect scope established
161009 - by the contract language.
161010 -
161011 - I am not terribly pleased with the initial effort, because it seems
161012 - to result in a lot more duplication than I would have expected.

161016 - Organic Subject Structure Considerations
161017 -
161018 - The challenge is to allow the user to ask about the status of
161019 - Engineering, and look up the chronology on that for the various
161020 - project components. Similarly, someone will want to know the
161021 - status of a physical component, and will want to see the chronology
161022 - on that, regardless of function, i.e. they will want it all. To do
161023 - this necessarily requires duplication that replicates the way the
161024 - mind organizes itself to reflect the organic structure of
161025 - existence, per review of Byte article on 910418. ref SDS 1 5584
