Toru Nakagawa (WTSP Project Leader)
Dear WTSP Members,
WTSP pages in "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" has been updated
tonight (dated May 18, 2019).

[1] Preliminary Internet Searches (3) of TRIZ-related Sites
in wider scopes in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
I started the '3rd round' of surveys of TRIZ-related sites
in wider scopes by using keywords different from TRIZ.
At moment, I am going to focus the sites written in English
and located in the whole world.
The choice of the keywords is important and delicate.
We will need several (or many) sets of keywords for the
survey, on some trial basis.
Since we are surveying in a wider scope, we have to check
many more sites and select useful sites from them.
This requires us hard work in somewhat not so familiar areas.
--------------------------------------------------------
[2] Preliminary Internet Search (3A)
with the keywords Creat* Think* Method* (Toru Nakagawa)
I used the Keywords: Creat* Think* Method* (with the
wild card *).
The Yahoo.Japan search engine interpreted the keywords much
widely such as: (Create, Creative, Make, Build, etc.) AND
(Think, Thinking, Thoughts, feel, believe, etc.) AND
(Method, Tool, Technique, Way, etc.).
Thus the outputs are much diluted.
Evaluating the sites quickly, I obtained the results:
◎ 1 site, ○ 4 sites, □ 15 sites, △ 3 sites, and － 84 sites.
The sites are shown in the HTML page and in the .docx file .
[3] (3A2) with the keywords Creative Think Method (Toru Nakagawa)
This works well.
Among the 194 sites, I evaluated as:
◎ Most important 1 site,
○ Important 15 sites,
□ World Catalog 65 sites,
△ Country Catalog 31 sites,
L (Listed already elsewhere) 15 sites, and
－ Irrelevant 56 sites.
The sites are shown in the HTML page and in the .docx file .
See also the sample description of the ◎ and ○ sites in
the HTML page.
We wish you to work for building your country's WTSP Catalog
and for building World WTSP Catalogs.
We have many tasks to do in cooperation and in parallel.
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
------------------
PS:
Since we are going to cover various 'TRIZ-related Sites
in a wider sense', we will encounter many sites interesting
and useful in different aspects.
How widely should we cover them?
How can we classify them?
How can we arrange them?
Which criteria should we have in selecting and evaluating them?
...
These are the questions we have from the beginning.
At the current stage of starting the '3rd round' survey
with broader keywords, we now need to face with these questions.
I am going to find solutions to these problems in two basic
approaches.
One is a practical bottom-up approach, where we meet many
different sites and handle them one by one, as I am doing
in the '3rd round' surveys.
The other is a systematized top-down approach, where we
need to think various schemes/frameworks of categorization.
Concerning to the scopes in different methodologies, for example,
we should list up various methodologies and try to
categorize/classify them first.
This approach needs trials and discussions in the WTSP project.
I have been thinking about this approach for a couple of months,
and got a basic idea in early April.
In a separate page, I will describe my proposal, with the hope
that our WTSP Catalogs will become a handy and useful WTSP
Database.
(Please give me a couple of days.)
Best wishes,
Toru
