  Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Apr. 4, 2023)

The role and structure of this page are made clearer:
(A) Instructions    to the contributors (e.g., Country Editors, SIG Editors, etc.) for preparing their manuscripts of some part of the World WTSP Catalogs.  [See also the Guidelines . ]

(B) The Manuscripts contributed to the World WTSP Catalogs from various groups/teams.  The manuscripts are brushed up and tested to finally serve as some parts (i.e., WTSP Source Documents) ready to be incorporated into the World WTSP Catalogs.  The manuscripts are currently grouped into:
     (1)  From Teams of Various Countries
     (2)  Cases of Surveys for TRIZ Sites
     (3)  Cases of Surveys for AROUND-TRIZ Sites
     (4)  Contributions of SIGs (Special Interest Group), Mostly on Around-TRIZ Sites
     (5)  Contributions of (Optional) Full Site Introductions (by individual site owners)

  Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Jun. 19, 2023)

A new Index page of all unfinished source-data manuscripts has been made as a separate page .  Preliminary manuscripts of Source Data have to pass through 5 Stages before being published as the Souce Data in the present page.  I.e., (1) Initial survey stage, (2) Preliminary manuscript stage, (3) Completed manuscript stage, (4) Published source data stage, (5) Published World Catalog stage.  All such unfinished (or before successful publication) manuscripts are listed in the new page for the purpose of handling them smoothly witout loss/missing.

Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Jul. 31, 2019)

This page manages the source documents for the World WTSP Catalogs so as to make sure that they match with the requirements of the mandatory information, suitable formatting, hyperlinks & anchor points, and working as a small Web site of each Team/Case.

Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Sept. 30, 2019)  Revised Preliminary Version of the WTSP Catalogs

Top-down survey data of casess TN3D and TN3E are now installed, and used for making the WTSP Catalogs of wider scope, i.e., World Around-TRIZ Basic Index (with ◎○ sites).

Editor's Note (TN, Jun. 30, 2020): 

Source documents are updated to cover the manuscripts used for the Beta Edition (Jun. 30, 2020).

Editor's Note (TN, Aug. 20, 2021): 

For the (slight) revision of the Beta Edition (Jun. 30, 2020), some new data are listed, especially the sites with close site introduction are tabulated at the bottom (5).

(A) Instructions for Preparing the Manuscripts (Toru Nakagawa, Jul. 31, 2019)

We need to be careful about the folder structure which should be useful at various stages; namely at the stage (A) of document preparation, updating, and testing (for each Team/Case), at the stage (B) of integration into World Catalogs, and at the stage (C) of finalizing, usage and exporting of the World Catalogs.  During all these stages, we would like to keep various things consistent and easy to move next stages without changing things much.

The folder structure of the World WTSP Catalogs is decided as illustrated in the following figure.

In this general structure, the present page is inside the World WTSP Catalog Folder, and handles and records all the source documents coming from each Team or Case for readjusting them, if necessary, to match the requirements of the files.

Each Team/Case should submit the source documents of the TRIZ-related sites in each country (or each aspect of survey) in essentially two forms:

(a) Descriptions of sites  (in .docx  and in .html)

First describe about the Team/Case itself:  Which range of sites are surveyed/listed, Who and How the sites are gathered, What items are described for each site, What kind of categorization/arrangement are made, How the sites are evaluated, etc.

Then follow the descriptions of individual sites.  In front of each site, an anchor point is set.  The header part of site description corresponds to the  information in the Index Table and may include some more information. Then the texts of introduction to the site follows, typically in 3-10 lines.  The site description in the Satandard Form (one A4 page in .docx) may be converted into .html and included here.  (Closer site description (c) in free format should be made in a separate file (in .html or in .pdf) and a hyperlink to it is set here in the file of site descriptions.)

(b) Index Table of sites (or Index of sites) (in .xlsx  and in .html)

This is the table of sites to be used as the keys for categorizing and rearranging the sites (together with all the sites coming from different Teams/Cases).  Please follow the specifications of Items and their orders, because they are going to be used after being merged with the Index Tables coming from many different Teams and Cases. 

It is important to have a hyperlink from each Site code in the Index Table to the Anchor point of the site in the Descriptions of sites file.  For this purpose, you should follow the naming rule of your files, using your Team code (i.e. usually the 2-letter country code).  Submit the files after fully testing the hyperlinks.

Keep the cell structure of the Index Table simple, without merging cells. For the purpose of some categorization, you may divide the whole table into several Index Tables, stored in an Excel sheet (and in an .html page).
[Note (TN, Jun. 30, 2020): As you see in the Index tables of variosu WTSP Catalogs, the Site name and the Site domain URL are shown (in two or more lines) in a cell for the sake of the readability of the table.  (The URLs are often long and difficult for browsers to place them in a cell of narrow width, and hence causing the browsers make the cell unacceptably wide.).]

[Note (TN, Jun. 30, 2020): World WTSP Catalogs are originally built as pairs of an Index file and (a set of) Site description file(s) connected by hyperlinks from Index to Site description.  In the Jun. 30, 2020 Edition, a new type of file structure is introduced for 'WTSP Catalogs for Print', as shown at the right end of the above figure.  There, behind an Index of sites, the Site descriptions are set in the same file.  The Site descriptions are copied from their original Site desription files.  The 'Catalogs for Print' may be downloaded, printed, and used on the users' PC interactively by using the hyperlinks.  This takes much time for preparation, but very useful for users.
