Options for finding stuff

• File it properly in the first place!• Search using an engine

• Google, Autonomy, FAST, …• Issues

How do standards help?

• Agreed definitions• We all use standards all

the time

• Do we know this?• How can we get

standards used by E&P staff?

NDR’s and standards

• NDR’s only work if standards are used

• Often local standards• Companies gain by using same

standards

• Do not write your own• Adopt and adapt if needed

Ongoing research in Paras

• What is out there?• How might we get what we are

looking for?• Google like functionality that “knows

me”• Amazon like functionality which says

“people who were interested in that were also interested in this”

• Input welcome!
