Abstract

This brief paper follows up on a question proposed at the end of a research paper by the authors published in the transactions of ProComm 2016 (Austin, TX) [1]. Last year's paper reported on how an operational assessment review process at a federally-funded scientific supercomputing center transforms raw data about machine operations into reportable knowledge for audiences external to the facility, in particular the funder. This process was codified in a document-cycling model that accounted for writing activities beyond the conventionally modeled practices of composing and editing.
