Subject: [huml] Re: [humanorg] JL-edits of the paper attached.(was:Presentation
Hi James, I appreciate your intent and thank you for it. However, I think that perhaps not having the actual portal to see, it may not connect for you. Regardless, while I may be wrong, under the current circumstances, I don't think I have the time to rework the paper as extensively as it appears you are suggesting. I certainly don't have the time to stop everything right now and go through your suggestion in detail. Because I get my mail on the Mac, I can't even look at your minor changes until later. However, for now, let's postpone that decision with an interim decision to proceed on the assumption that I don't have the time, especially with several sections unwritten as yet. However, I will look at the reshuffling suggestion when I can and make a more considered and reasoned decision later. Could you Outline the rearrangement for me? I see things better that way or in diagrams than in descriptions. Right now, at least, I don't have the time to go over your suggestion. That is largely due to the fact that I have to devote the remainder of the day on programming details to get the metaphorical plumbing working. One decision about how to adjust this project to one factor always seems to throw something else out of kilter, and I am just not capable of switching back and forth from writing to programming, or figuring out how the web services processes of servers, servlets and small application programs should work versus how it seems to, or not as the case may be. I'm not rejecting the idea out of hand, just postponing a decision to a more appropriate moment, and asking that you understand if it proves impractical. As for the paper addressing the specifics, to be honest, I see that as the job of the Portal itself, to illustrate the tangible product of the collaborations involved. The paper does need to address specifics, as you say, but the specifics are much less HumanMarkup per se than the whole. Some emphasis on HumanML and HPCDML is required, but too much runs a risk of alienating the partners we want to recruit. The paper, as a supporting document, is, however, a chance for us to do what I think you have done quite well, which is to demonstrate our grounding in existing work and our plans for moving forward, in step with the academic as well as business worlds. Last note, a proof of concept like this precedes a pilot project. We are, in fact, doing the leg work to get funding for the pilot project, which would be an assessment of the costs and benefits of producing the actual portal. The chances are quite, good actually, that if what is needed to improve the paper is restructuring and doesn't require rewriting, which I know I don't have the time to do, then, once the presentation and the portal are pretty much put to bed, and it turns out that there is time to do it without making me or us crazy, I'll be more than happy to do it.
