Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Nov. 20, 2020)
This page was originally posted in May 24, 2019 as a part of the proposal of the 'WTSP Database System'
, but the idea of building the DB software system was not chosen for practical reasons. Nevertheless the contents of this page itself are used fully in the current WTSP Catalogs. Every site in the WTSP Catalogs is requested (as explained in the (A4) Guidelines
(Thus the file name has been changed from 'eWTSP-CatalogSystem-IndexSchemes.htm' into 'eWTSP-CatalogSystem-IndexSchemes.html'.)A. Location (Site Location)
B. Language (Site description language)
C. Roles (Roles of the site or the site owner)
D. Application phases (along the problem solving),
E. Application fields
F. Methods
X. Evaluation
Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, May 23, 2019)
This page posts the definitions of Multiple Sets of Indexing Schemes for the newly proposed WTSP Database System
Please refer to Section 2. of the Proposal paper
Indexing Scheme means a system of categories in one aspect of users’ interest.
In each aspect, we should have a system of categories (or answers to users’ questions) in which we can characterize and classify the individual sites. Each category should be clear in the meaning, should be distinguishable from other categories, while all the categories as a whole can cover the full range of views in the aspect.
Defining the aspects and defining the system of categories in each aspect appropriately are very important. If such definitions are poor or instable, it is difficult for us to characterize individual sites properly; any mistakes (due to misunderstanding) and any changes afterward would cause a lot of confusions in building the WTSP Database and in using the outputs of the WTSP DB System.
With all these understandings, the present proposal has defined the Multiple sets of Indexing Schemes.
All the details of these Indexing Schemes should be discussed further and revised as soon as possible, because they have to be used in the description of individual sites.
Please send me questions, comments, and revision proposals.

Revisions: TN, May 18, 2019; May 23, 2019;
Revision: TN, Nov. 20, 2020
Index Scheme A. Location (Site Location)
The 'Location' intends to locate the site in terms of countries.
Use the Country code which are used to specify URL. Ref. WTSP Guideline (A4) page
Answers should be written as: (in the case of Region) A-Europe, (in the case of Country) A-at-Austria .
Multiple answers may be necessary, because a site may be operated in multiple countries often with subsidiary sites in different languages.

There are various cases where the site(s) are operated in multiple countires without specifying the main center. |
Index Scheme B. Language (Site description language)
Language(s) used in the site itself are to be shown here.
Multiple answers should be expected in this scheme, because some sites are operated in multiple languages.
Answer the languages in the order of usage inside the site.

Index Scheme C. Roles (Roles of the site or the site owner)
(May 24; Jun. 6; Sept. 30, 2019)
Roles of the sites (or roles of the site owners) are to be shown here.
Multiple answers need to be expected both in the main categories and in the sub-categories.
Desirable to answer in terms of sub-categories: e.g. (a1) Dedicated for information sending, (d4) Consultants, etc.
If any sub-category does not cover the role well, use the category as the answer: e.g., (h) User organizations
In case of multiple answers, write them in the order of importance for the site.
