[Moims-dai] Notes from telecon 20160426

[John Garrett]

Hi,

Does it make sense to use a different term for the Information curation
Project?
Would using something other than project (activity, program, task, exercise,
exploitation scheme, etc.) make the distinction clearer?

Wishing you prosperity and peace,

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:

actual project. 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.
