081380 - Background
081381 -
081382 -
081383 - 1. On 930921 Anne Bevington at KHLS advised Communication Metrics
081384 - would be useful for legal support. ref SDS 2 6883
081385 -
081386 - 2. On 960620 prepared a paper...
081387 -
081388 - Dialog, Documents and Human Memory
081389 - a Legal Perspective
081390 -
081391 - ...for the Asilomar Conference. ref OF 2 2117 A theory of
081392 - "knowledge space" supports Concurrent Discovery for technology
081393 - to apply legal practice of aligning information. ref SDS 4 1101
081394 - Management standards in the PMBOK and ISO require traceability
081395 - to original sources, reported on 950721. ref SDS 3 1740 On
081396 -
081397 - 3. On 990419 Dave indicated Communication Metrics offers useful
081398 - support for projects, and Common Administration could be an
081399 - effective application. ref SDS 5 9420
081400 -
081401 - 4. On 990432 offered to support Com Metrics for Dave at TRP.
081402 - ref SDS 6 0001
081403 -
081404 - 5. On 990527 Morris Jones suggested that lawyers are a better
081405 - market for Communication Metrics because they do a lot of
081406 - writing; whereas, engineers at Intel, do not like to write, and
081407 - cultural forces impede support. ref SDS 7 1233
081408 -
081409 - 6. Sent Dave a copy of proposal to NSF, ref OF 3, in my letter,
081410 - ref DIP 2 0977, submitted on 990616. ref SDS 8 0001 On 990713
081411 - letter follows up proposal to NSF, ref DIP 3 8582, per SDS
081412 - record. ref SDS 9 0001
081413 - ..
081414 - 7. Today, Denis said Communication Metrics needs to be specified,
081415 - but he won't do it unless someone tells him to include this
081416 - requirement. ref SDS 11 3025
081417 -
081418 - As a result, the law is the only "intelligence" in management,
081419 - and it is applied to late to avoid costly mistakes and delay,
081420 - as explained in the NWO paper. ref OF 1 2536
