Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 5 August, 2021,
Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)
Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?
(In Japan this week we are encountering an explosive rise
(5th wave) of Corvid-19 in the midst of Tokyo Olympics 2020
due to the failure of our Government policy.)
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" tonight:

Recently I am more and more confident in the significance of our World WTSP Catalogs,
not only as our specific case of TRIZ and Around-TRIZ fields but also as a pioneering model of World Catalogs of
websites in various fields and various topics.
Firstly, we should note the merits of Websites as a unit of information source in comparison to
individual papers, articles, webpages, patents, books, journals, conferences,
paper repositories, patent DBs, laboratories, universities, companies, institutes, etc.
in the aspects of quality, attractiveness, accessibility, scope, diversity, etc.
Secondly, we should note the merit of 'Catalogs' as a form of a selected collection of such units of
information sources with introductions.
Collecting, evaluation, selection, categorization, arrangement, introductions, indexing, etc. are
required and also possible.
There can be various fields, themes, problems, etc. where 'Catalogs' of relevant 'Websites' are useful.
Interdisciplinary fields, emerging fields, social problems, SDGs, Covid-19 issues, etc. may need such Catalogs.
Catalogs are not collection of knowledge itself, but collection of various types of information sources
having good guidance to the knowledge.
Categorizing the intended field/theme may be an important task to build useful Catalogs.
In this sense I have found 'Catalogs of Websites' is itself an important research topic in future far across the
boundary of TRIZ and CrePS (Creative Problem Solving).
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes.
Toru
