[Moims-dai] Notes from telecon 20160426

[D or C Sawyer]

All,

As one begins to read the document, clearly the Information Creation Project is not the same as the actual project.  It is about the need to create and capture information in association with some other project.  If my project is a proposal to fly an instrument on a spacecraft to address some science question, I’m not going to think about it as an “information Creation Project”. I could be convinced that in association with my project, I need to envision an ‘Information Creation" parallel activity. However when the stages of the ICP are called out, it appears they are now the same as the actual project.  I find this very confusing. I think the document needs to clearly identify the actual stages of a real project, and then to discuss the information creation aspects of each stage.  I think this is what is intended, but it is not how it currently reads, in my opinion.

cheers-
Don

However my main comment, which I’ve inserted into this version (see below), is about the relationship of an actual project to an ICP.  The inserted comment is as follows:

They may be almost the same entity when the objecitve of the project is to generate information, but otherwise I believe the relationship of the ICP stages to the actual project needs to be discussed. In fact, most projects in which new information is the primary objective would most likely refer to their project in terms of the questions they want to answer or some results to be achieved and not in terms of the information to be preserved. I believe clarifying this, for the stages, is critical to (wide) adoption and understanding. For example, is the flying of an instrument on a spacecraft the same as the Operation stage?  The spacecraft operation has a lot more going on than just the gathering of information, processing, and analysis.
