Demo for Nato-Missiles: {Phylum}NOTECARDS>DEMO>NATO-Script.tedit PREPARATION retrieve {Phylum}NoteCards>Demo>Nato-Missiles.NoteFile INTRODUCTION we're developing a system to support the analyst in collecting and structuring information during all phases of the analysis process so as to improve the quality of analysis the system is built around the metaphor of electronic notecards - small idea-size units that are easy for the analyst to deal with. Similar to the time when you had to prepare a report for class, and you spent your days in the library taking notes on notecards. the key to this is to provide the right capabilities (browsers, maps, sketches, etc) and a natural way to use them we want to evolve the system through feedback from real analysts one of our methods is to have a surrogate analyst doing analysis here where we can observe and learn from the analysts use Ken Allen, a doctoral student in history at Stanford, is researching the origins of the decisions in deploying the Pershing missiles in Europe. the best way to see the system is to see how Ken is making use of it. SCENARIO Ken is building a large notecard file discuss concept of fileboxes and subfileboxes show Contents card the bibliography, index, etc. are not provided by the program. Ken created these as fileboxes and has found them to be useful tools. Ken has a bibliography of source documents can see a time when there will be access to on-line libraries of documents Ken is now reading one document - Smith article "Deployment Shake Politics" scan to paragraph beginning with The Soviets complain create new card and copy the 1st sentence assign title "Soviet Complaint" reminds Ken of another card - a comment by Harold Brown which is a rebuttal look in index under "Flexible Response" some time in the future there will be automatic indexing find and pop up "Missile Gap..." link new card to "Missile Gap..." with a Rebuttal pointer show how the icon can be changed close "Missile Gap..." pop up new link to show pointer works assign source card show pointers determine where to file new card look at Topic Browser Ken keeps this in the background to maintain a global perspective on the notefile pick topic "Soviet TNF Doctrine" file the card by selecting the topic icon check that the card is linked - retrieve the topic and scroll to show the new card review what you've done clean up the screen (keep the article) look at last sentence in the paragraph from the article - do I agree with this remember that I made a map search "Map" discuss future of search pop up map to check missile range claim - Map: Missile Range pop up icons for UK & Sicily play with sketch - optional, usually don't talk about map on-line discuss that these software packages are off the shelf - they did not have to be created for this database do I believe this data point to "Range Data" check show pointer of table select source - pops up a bibliography card yes, Treverton is a reliable source SUMMARY the scenario showed only a couple of aspects of analysis: capturing, selecting, linking of information resolving conflicts in information this system is a working environment which provides hooks for integrating a variety of tools to support the analysis process not only the capturing and linking of information but also: browsing to aid discovery of new ideas and relations searching capabilities, eg, Ngram matching structuring, eg, time-line analysis validating (filing in) ideas, eg, argument analysis composing, eg, reportsÔNILNILE TIMESROMAN TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL< TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL4 TIMESROMAN TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN TIMESROMAN L TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL+ TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN ° TIMESROMAN ÔNILNIL" TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN ?
