"Knowledge Management Policy"
Last response: in Windows XP

From: Undersigned
Subject: Knowledge Management Policy
Dear Sirs:
Executive Brief: Author and implement a comprehensive knowledge management
policy.
Symptoms:
1. Current search engines require scanning of very large resources to find
very small resources.
2. Default directory names in Windows Operating Systems as My Documents, My
pictures are machine related, rather than informational.
Treatment: Adopt a knowledge management policy that is logical and
intelligent, and apply it all products, services, systems, and data,
especially to personal computer operating systems and storage solutions .
Result: KM policy will be implemented by user (machine and human) methods.
Meaning: A user will see information organized in a logical hierarchical
system.
Interpretation: If you want to adopt a strategy of separating applications
from data, then do it, but do it in an intelligent manner. Both the methods
of storage and the content must be logically organized. A user should know
that on any system, whether it be a document system, a storage system, or an
operating system, that a piece of information concerning an atom will be
found in a subtopic of molecule in an applied knowledge management
hierarchy.
Application: Naming storage drives a: b: c: is intelligent only if the
knowledge management system hierarchical object is naturally alphabetic. In
the application/data scenerio, why not name drives: Applications: Data:, or
better, suggest a naming strategy from Library Science such as, Humanities,
Physical Science, and Social Science? People are involved with Taxonomy, and
Microsoft should lead the charge, because it is developing the tools that
make people smarter.
Human knowledge can be logically organized. Digital systems must find and
apply algorithms that translate information into something logical,
meaningful, and useful. This incorporates the idea that the solutions
Microsoft provides should, by definition, consider and implement a baseline
knowledge management architecture that can categorize sensory or mechanical
analogs. A knowledge management policy provides the wheels for intelligent
systems.

Thanks Carey Frisch:
This is a recommendation for a corporate policy. I expect someone in Redmond
will read it, look at their file tree, and figure things could be better.
Seems that after the invention of newsgroups people chucked aside the idea
of inventing and maintaining a categorical information architecture for the
personal computer.

>So you're just a troll trying to stir up arguments.
This subject began in an attempt to design config files.
One of the things Microsoft prides itself in is the number of ways a task
can be accomplished. This leaves a lot of latitude to the user, but the user
is often confused by the number of choices, not understanding the
differences between them. The remedy is to exercise discipline over the
latitude. One way to achieve that discipline is to organize the subjects
logically.
The default naming structure in the file system does not favor logical
organization. Examples are: Program Files, and My Documents. In either case,
a search engine is the best remedy to find a utility or document when there
are literally thousands of choices in a file tree. As we all know, sorting
alphabetically falls short primarily due to naming of programs and
documents. Example: I want an antivirus program. It is not named antivirus.
It is under N for SymaNtec. The firewall not named firewall, it is under Z
for ZoneAlarm. So goodbye "program files", hello
science.computer.security.zonealarm.
As PC storage and networking grow to hold terabytes of data and millions of
files, it becomes apparent that it would be better if the information was
organized into traditional knowledge groups, thereby shortening search times
for the user.
Another consideration is that with the PC, especially the home PC, there are
multiple uses for the machine, where in business the software is limited and
easily configured. I would tend to design for the home PC (network) where
the most sophisticated projects can live peacefully with the more mundane
utilities organized by a subject classification system, or more accurately,
under a knowledge management system. That KM system should be part of the
system design.

antivirus.

Where did "science" come from? What good is "computer"? Isn't it bloody

There's no such thing as a "traditional knowledge group" except in the minds

The Dewey decimal system in a library does not dumb down the library. It
makes it more functional.
Yes it is an imposed strategy, but the application of it is planned and
dynamic. If you think about it, schools, hospitals, and government offices
are constituted under some undefined organized naming system. KM gives a
name to the method of organization, and specifies a plan for implementation.
That is no where more important than in information processing, especially
in intelligent systems. Microsoft could, and should, be a leader in the
field. IBM has already accepted the challenge, and produces product
specifically to help with KM in the workplace. Neither corporation seems to
have a KM policy at the corporate level, or at least I have been unable to
find one, and that is where it should exist.
Could be that it is a difficult process, a challenge, to create a (any)
policy with such a broad spectrum, and the idea of creating a somewhat
restrictive policy on information systems is not in line with things as they
are now (the status quo). All the more reason to pursue it I say.

Carey Frisch: I made some minor edits and submitted it to the wish program,
but never received an acknowledgment or reply. Probably forwarded to the big
Chinese bit basket.
Will Microsoft, Intel, and AMD begin selling off their stuff to China, which
won't need to hire tech support from India, while US techs will be required
to minor in Manderin?
Thank you for the suggestion.
