281502 -
281503 - Morris does not comment on Judicious Review to aid clear, concise,
281504 - complete communication.  There is no expression of error or omission
281505 - on SDS linking practices addressed yesterday.  Maybe this indicates
281506 - progress.  He raises the idea of a help system for users.  SDS helps
281507 - Communication Managers generate useful letters, but it is not clear
281508 - why someone who gets a letter needs similar help, or how it would
281509 - work.  Web browsers help users get intelligence delivered via Internet
281510 - that they cannot get by other means.
281511 -
281512 - Sent Roy's draft to Morris via ref DIT 1 linked to this record and
281513 - review of Roy's proposal. ref OF 4, at ref SDS 26.

281906 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Morris responding to my letter sent
281907 - yesterday, ref DIP 1 0001 in the record on 990416. ref SDS 25 0001.
281908 -
281909 - Morris says...
281910 -
281911 -   •  You still haven't addressed the vint of the user.

281916 -      Question
281917 -
281918 -      Sending a letter addresses the viewpoint of the "user" who is
281919 -      further linked into SDS records for background and analysis i.e.,
281920 -      "intelligence." ref OF 1 0582
281921 -
281922 -      The letter focuses the user's view on particular stuff in the
281923 -      universe of possibilities.
281924 -
281925 -      Morris has a particular objective which has not been explained??
281926 -
281927 -      He needs to write out some detail on what he wants.  This is a
281928 -      new area in management support that is hard to explain, as Dave
281929 -      Buoncristiani noted on 990419. ref SDS 18 3240  Maybe Morris can
281930 -      help with this.
281931 -
281932 -         [On 990505 Tom Keesling wants direct access to documents,
281933 -         which may be part of Morris' objective. ref SDS 28 3150]
281934 -
281935 -         [On 990514 Tom says Doc Log upgrade helps. ref SDS 29 8599]
281936 -
281937 -         [On 990521 Morris feels Doc Log helps a little, but wants
281938 -         search feature. ref SDS 30 3650 and ref SDS 30 9633]
281939 -
281940 -         [On 990524 Morris confirms wants search feature, but is unsure
281941 -         how it would work. ref SDS 31 4774]
281942 -
281943 -   •  <5624 You may almost need a seaased help system.
281944 -
281945 -      You have to consider vocabulary of the reader, view point, etc.
281946 -
281947 -      This reflects in part Morris' request for a search engine for SDS
281948 -      on the Internet in a call on 980404, ref SDS 7 4922, and in his
281949 -      letter yesterday. ref SDS 25 1100

281961 -
281962 -      Question
281963 -
281964 -      Why?
281965 -
281966 -      People do not send a "help" system with correspondence.  Like
281967 -      Morris' letter, they say what they want the other person to
281968 -      consider.
281969 -
281970 -      "Vocabulary" is a strong feature of human mental acuity, based on
281971 -      induction, as reviewed on 960324. ref SDS 3 4158  People get help
281972 -      with words from the dictionary, or ask for help with meaning.
281973 -
281974 -      How would a "search based help system" work?
281975 -
281976 -      What would it do?
281977 -
281978 -      Morris may be thinking on a grander scale.  If we send someone a
281979 -      letter linking them into SDS for particular stuff, he may be
281980 -      envisioning a way for the reader to look up other stuff.  That
281981 -      would hamper the purpose of communication to focus attention and
281982 -      build shared meaning on the stuff in the letter.
281983 -
281984 -      Searching requires a subject index and tools to manage it.
281985 -
281986 -      We have this.
281987 -
281988 -      Morris helped build it, indirectly.  On 970116 he noticed that
281989 -      "subjects" require a lot of hard work. ref SDS 5 9430
281990 -
281991 -      Communication Metrics assigns someone to do this work, so that
281992 -      useful intelligence can be delivered to people who do not have
281993 -      time to create the intelligence needed to work effectively.
281994 -
281995 -      An example yesterday of a manager who admired how Communication
281996 -      Metrics manages the work, ref SDS 24 9400, shows that delivering
281997 -      useful intelligence makes people more effective, and this benefit
281998 -      is self-evident.

282006 - Morris does not comment on the guidelines for reviewing SDS links in

282008 - in response to his letter. ref SDS 25 0488

282010 -      [On 990712 Morris objects to clicking on links. ref SDS 34 5837]
282011 -
282012 - This may indicate he feels Judicious Review is a sensible way to
282013 - balance the need for visibility and focus, which otherwise compete for
282014 - space within limited span of attention, as discussed in his letter
282015 - yesterday. ref SDS 25 0558

282020 -
282021 - Received today Roy's draft proposal reviewed at ref SDS 26 0001; the
282022 - main idea is to develop a web app for enterprise management.
282023 - ref SDS 26 9522
282024 -
282025 - Morris asked about this on 990425. ref SDS 26  We discussed ideas for
282026 - a study, ref SDS 23 6410, but the proposal does not take this
282027 - approach. ref SDS 26 4630
282028 -
282029 -     [On 990428 received Morris' preliminary comment. ref SDS 27 3876]
282030 -
282031 - It is ambitous, and commercialization needs work.
282032 -
282033 - The whole thing needs to be fleshed out to comply with NSF
282034 - requirements.
