Intelligence Adds Value to Information,

1007 - Summary/Objective
1008 -
100801 - Followed up work at ref SDS 11 line 59, ref SDS 8 line 81.
100802 -
100803 -
100804 -
100805 - Converting Information into Knowledge, Intelligence
100806 -
100807 - Followed up work at ref SDS 11 line 85.
100808 -
100809 - I edited the second paragraph again, ref OF 2 line 84, to improve the
100810 - explanation of time, information and intelligence created at ref SDS
100811 - 7 line 218 and at ref SDS 11 line 83.
100812 -
100813 -     [See another major edit on 970813, ref SDS 14 line 57.]
100814 - ..
100815 - Added "organic structure" to correlate with "patterns of
100816 - understandings" and moved this forward in the text to give the reader
100817 - an earlier connection with the familiar idea of pattern recognition as
100818 - an intellectual bridge to "dimension matching" discussed by Landauer
100819 - at ref SDS 3 3250 and ref SDS 3 7447.  This introduces the idea of
100820 - "organic structure" used for the Subject Index later.  Also developed
100821 - the phrase "adding intelligence to information" produces knowledge,
100822 - since that seems like a possibly easier idea for people to grasp than
100823 - adding "metrics" to communications.
100824 -
100825 - Actually, I made a new version, file 00107, since we have some of
100826 - these distributed.
100827 -
100828 -     [See another version that tries to further improve this work on
100829 -     970813, ref SDS 14 line 57.]
100830 -
100831 -     [See paper by Air Force Institute of Technology that describes
100832 -     information entropy (disorder) that causes cost growth in human
100833 -     endeavors like weapons procurement, ref SDS 13 line 259.]
100834 -
100835 -
100836 - Appendix D Added Organization Chart
100837 -
100838 - Decided to include the organization chart for the Richmond Project as
100839 - a cover sheet for Task Order 2 that identifies Communication Metrics.
