Abstract: This is the 4th report of the World TRIZ-related Sites Project (WTSP). After the submission of
our ETRIA TFC2020 paper (May, 2020) we have made two big achievements: (1) Completing the Beta
Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ sites and around-TRIZ sites (Jul. 2020). (2) Presenting the
WTSP activities and outputs at 4 international and 1 domestic TRIZ related-conferences held online (lateSept. - early Nov. 2020). We are working since then to enhance the WTSP Catalogs by (A) getting attractive
and useful introductions of individual websites written by site owners and (B) getting manuscripts ofCountry WTSP Catalogs by collaborative team work in various countries. Unfortunately, however, wehave got very little contributions so far. The present paper explains the structure of the current WorldWTSP Catalogs by illustrating with excellent new examples of close site introductions and also the processof building them. The difficulties in getting voluntary contributions to the project are discussed. We aregoing to (C) carry out top-down Internet surveys in a number of important countries and support thebottom-up jobs (A) and (B). Let' work Together ! Connected !!
Key words: World TRIZ-related Sites Project (WTSP), World TRIZ Sites Catalogs, World Around-TRIZ
Sites Catalogs, Global collaboration.

1. INTRODUCTION
In our fields of TRIZ and related
methodologies, there must be a huge amount andvariety of accumulated knowledge, applications,activities, etc. in the world. Such abundance of
information does not mean easy access toselected good information sources of interests.
For example, ordinary Internet searches withany keyword, like TRIZ, outputs hundreds ofwebpages easily, but the information is messy,
noisy, and also missing. For overcoming thisdifficulty, we have started to build Catalogs of
selected websites in the world in the fields of
TRIZ and related methodologies.
As the unit of information source, we havechosen Websites, instead of Web pages, papers,
articles,books,
journals,conferences,organizations, etc. Web sites usually represent a
groupofpeoplewithacommonacademic/business approach and post a series ofarticles more or less in a systematic manner for

many years, actively keeping them up-to-date,mostly free of charge and open access (orsometimes with relatively low subscriptionfees). Website is the primary and standing
media for the site owner to get high public
reputation from many readers/users/customers;
thus, the site owner proudly puts much efforts
for building and maintaining it.
Catalogs of Websites worldwide in somespecific academic/industrial field is a newconcept, as far as we know. Some Web sites
post 'lists of Links', containing relatively small
number of sites showing site names, URLs, andvery short annotations.
Catalogs in general should satisfy three basic
requirements (cf. 'Catalogs of Good
Restaurants', 'Catalogs of Nice Sight-seeing
Places', etc.): (1) Listing good items withevaluation (without missing excellent items), (2)Introducing good items individually withattractive and useful information, and (3)Capable to find one or multiple items of interests

- 534 -of various users. We want to build our Catalogs
satisfying these requirements as much as
possible.
For building such Catalogs of Websites in
TRIZ and related methodologies, we clearlyneed collaborative work of many people in thesefields. Our vision is large and the image of theoutputs was not clear at first. Active people in
our TRIZ community are always very busy, ofcourse, in their own businesses and some public
services. And they are sometimes competitivein their approaches, businesses, organizations,etc. Knowing all these situations, we started our
project solely on the voluntary basis.

2. SHORT HISTORY OF OUR PROJECT
We started the World TRIZ-related Sites
Project (WTSP) in Dec. 2017 as a voluntary
project for building Catalogs of selectedwebsites on TRIZ and relevant methodologies in
the world. Toru Nakagawa proposed the project,
got supports from a number of people, and thesix co-authors of the present paper joined toserve as Global Co-editors.

Fig. 1. Aims of the WTSP project [1]

The Aims of the project are stated clearly inthe following slide presented at ETRIA TFC
2018 [1].
A pilot project was carried out to build a
WTSP Catalog of TRIZ and around-TRIZ

websites in Japan and demonstrated effective
use of Internet surveys and compact introductionof individual sites with (tentative) evaluation.
"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" [2] served as theplatform of WTSP.
Information of andinvitation to the project were sent regularly toabout 200 leaders/colleagues in the global TRIZ
community. Thus at the TFC2018, about 80
people from 30 countries joined (or signed tojoin) WTSP as a member voluntarily.
In the next year, team formation and bottomup work of making Catalogs in individual
countries were expected, but they did not emerge
unfortunately.
Hence Nakagawa started
intensive top-down Internet surveys for TRIZ
sites in the world and in USA. Getting Catalog
manuscripts from Malaysia, China, and Russian
Language region (in addition to Japan), a WorldTRIZ sites Catalog was build, leaving
manuscripts missing from many (30 to 40) othercountries. In addition, websites in the fields
around TRIZ were intensively surveyed by
Nakagawa with Internet search using keywords
including Creative think method, Problem
solving, Innovation, Quality/value/ productivity,
IP, etc. Visiting about 1000 websites one byone, World Catalogs of Around-TRIZ sites werebuilt.
In October 2019 at TFC [3], we reported thecompletion of the Preliminary Edition of ourWorld WTSP Catalogs. It had two pillars, i.e.
Catalogs of TRIZ sites and Catalogs of AroundTRIZ sites, and the sites were selected and listed
in classification of their (tentative) evaluation ofimportance and introduced individually in 3-15
lines of description written by the WTSP
surveyors. The structure of the WTSP Catalogs
and the processes of building the Catalogs (i.e.,
searching, visiting, describing and evaluating
individual sites and forming Country and thenWorld WTSP Catalogs) were established at thisstage.
In 2020, we wanted to enhance the WorldWTSP Catalogs, in two points; firstly to getthorough closer descriptions of highly-evaluatedindividual sites, and secondly to get manuscriptsof Country Catalogs from many countries. But
these hopes were not realized, unfortunately
again. Thus in May 2020 we submitted our paper
to the TFC2020 [4] on the basis of the- 535 -Preliminary Edition presented in the slides of
TFC2019.
In July 2020, we have set up the Beta Editionof the World WTSP Catalogs. Even though theenhancement of data were quite small, the Beta
Edition were made well accessible for users in
the world. The WTSP Catalogs were originallydesigned as an interactive system to be used byaccessing the WTSP site with a browser. In the
Beta Edition, we added a group of PDF files of
WTSP Catalogs, which are downloadable by
any user for using interactively in their own PCs
and printing just as a Catalog booklet. Due tothe COVID-19 pandemic, various conferencesin TRIZ were shifted from real to online events.
Using this opportunity, we presented our WTSP
reports in five conferences in autumn 2020 (SeeTable 1) [4-8]. We gave slides and video
presentations, while adjusting the contents andemphasis to the interests of the audiences indifferent regions.

At present in April 2021, we are facing withmore or less the same situation as the previous
years. Even though we are encouraging/requesting many Members and supporters inglobal TRIZ community, very few activities areobserved among them to prepare for individualsite descriptions and country Catalogs. Thus in
the present paper submitting to ETRIATFC2021, we describe mostly on the basis of ourBeta Edition (covered in the slides [4] but not in
the paper [4]) adding some latest materials anddiscussions . In several months until ETRIATFC2021, we hope to enhance our World WTSP
Catalogs into the Third Edition mostly by a topdown approach.

3. CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLDWTSP CATALOGSThe current Beta Edition of the World WTSP
Catalogs has the main components assummarized in Table 2.
Table 2
Beta Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs

3.1 World WTSP TRIZ Sites Catalogs [4]The Beta Edition is based on the manuscripts
contributed from 4 countries (i.e., Japan by T.
Nakagawa, Malaysia by Eng Hoo Tan, China by
Runhua Tan, and Russian language region by
Michael Orloff) and supplemented by two casesof Internet surveys (of the sites in the world andof the sites in USA). It lists 23 Most Importantsites ◎ and 39 Important sites ○. (Refer to
Section 4.1 on the evaluation criteria.) All thesites are annotated in 3-15 lines in free format(besides the basic information such as site name,
URL, country, language, role of site) and severalof them have closer descriptions. We shouldnote that many good sites are missing because
manuscripts have not yet submitted from many
(probably 30-40) countries.
3.2 World WTSP Around-TRIZ Sites
Catalogs [4]It is our WTSP philosophy to cover a wider
range of fields relevant to TRIZ. We TRIZ
people should aware of other methodologies,
while those people there should know TRIZ; andwe all should work together for our common
goals. In practice, Nakagawa made intensive
Internet surveys with keywords, including
Creative think method, Problem solving,
Innovation, Quality/value/cost/ productivity,
Patent, etc. About 1000 Websites were detected
all together.
Visiting them one by one,
individual sites were described in 3-15 lines bysummarizing/excerpting the information in top

- 536 -pages, 'About us' pages, and some more main
pages. Evaluation of those sites was difficult
because of so wide areas now have 33 ◎ sites
and 127 ○ sites. The selection of these sites is

expected to be fairly reasonable without large
missing zones.
3.3 Structure of the WTSP Catalogs [4]he structure of the WTSP Catalog systemfrom user's view is illustrated in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2. Structure of the World WTSP Catalogs (User's View) [4]At the top page of the WTSP Catalog system,
users can see various types of Indexes/Catalogs.
An Index page shows a table of websites (e.g.,of a country, a survey case, World TRIZ sites,
World Around-TRIZ sites, etc.) with their basic
information (including Site code, Site name,
URL, country, single-line description, etc.). By
clicking the Site code of a site, the description of
the site is immediately shown by use of thehyperlink. Descriptions of sites are basicallystored in the files of original manuscripts, andcan be accessed from various Indexes where
various sites are grouped and re-arranged. This
structure of separating Index files from Sitedescription files serves for flexibility in the
Index and stability in the Site description, andhence for scalability and maintainability of thesystem.
'World Catalogs for Print', on the other hand,contains the Index table and the descriptions ofindividual sites copied from the Site description
files. It is provided as a PDF file (in addition toan HTML file as usual) which may be
downloaded by any user for printing it out as abooklet and for using it in one's own PCs
interactively just as using in the WTSP site. This

type of Catalogs serves for wider distribution
and easier use of the WTSP Catalogs.
3.4. Description of Individual Sites
Introducing individual sites is very importantfor our project. We have 3 levels of description.
(a) Free-format introduction in 3-10 lines bya surveyor,(b) Standard Form of Site Description (in 1page in A4), mandatory and to be written by thesite owner. It is illustrated in Fig. 3 with an
example contributed recently by Simon Litvin[9].
The top 7 items with ** are the mandatory basic
data to be used for sorting/rearranging sites in
the Index and shown in the Index. Seven itemswith ## should be written with the codes
specified in our Guidelines [10] for the purposeof classifying and retrieving the sites. In case ofmultiple answers to such an item, the answers
should better be arranged in the order ofimportance for the site. Free description of thesite is expected only 5-10 lines in the Standard
Form. The space is too small for site owners to
describe the significance and usefulness of theirsites.

- 537 -Fig. 3. Example of site description in the WTSP Standard Form [9]. Partially abbreviated for demonstration.

(c) Thus we have an option to accept aseparate file for closer description in free format(2-5 pages or more in A4, with figures andtables). Figure 4 shows such an example for thecase of "TRIZ Power Tools" site written by
Larry Ball [11] (but abbreviated much just into asummary by TN for showing here).
It is obvious that site descriptions in Standard
Form (Fig. 3) is much desirable but impossible
by surveyors outside the sites. So we are asking
the site owners for writing their own sites (b) in
the Standard Form and contribute to the WorldWTSP Catalogs.
3.5 Building Country WTSP Catalogs

As shown in our Aims (Fig. 1), buildingCountry Catalogs should be the basic step forour project. The process is shown in our
Guidelines [10]. First we should make a list ofrecommended sites, in the form of the Index
table containing the basic information suggested
with ** in Fig. 3. A group of people in the
country may be able to list up theirfavorite/recommended sites and supplement
them with internet surveys. Visiting such sites
and writing brief notes (a) in 3-10 lines in freeformat may be possible by the volunteers
supporting WTSP (Fig. 4). Getting site owners
contributed their site descriptions (b) (as shownin Section 3.4) is the most important step. We
need somebody who plays the leadership as a

- 538 -coordinator (or Country Editor). Then the
manuscripts are arranged in the form of Country
WTSP Catalog, after referencing to the
Guidelines [10] and existing samples.

3.7. Recent Contributions of Manuscripts
Since last October till now, we have received(and publicized) new manuscripts of Sitedescription as follows (but no Country Catalogs).

3.8 Organizing Activities of WTSP Project
As mentioned in our history (Section 2.),
activities by members and formation of teams inindividual countries have been very rare. Thisissue is discussed later (Sections 4.4 - 4.6).
4. ISSUES TO BE SOLVED
4.1 Evaluation of Individual Sites
We have set the criteria of site evaluation
qualitatively as shown in Fig. 4. One of ourdesires is to find good websites not known
widely yet due to language barriers, local
activities, etc. and publicize them widely.
Evaluation is delicate and difficult, but we haveto do it even tentatively. Evaluations will be
refined later by public reviewing.

3.6 Integrating into World WTSP Catalogs
Manuscripts of Country Catalogs and close
Site Introductions (like Figs. 3 and 4) aresubmitted to the Project Leader (TN). Index
files of the manuscripts and existing World
Catalogs are integrated into a big Index, and(after some preliminary handling of overlappingsites) all the sites are classified and rearranged inany manner as being intended for the World
Catalogs.

Fig. 5. Criteria of Evaluating Individual Websites [4]- 539 -4.2 Range of Fields and Scopes
In the WTSP TRIZ Catalogs we include not
only classical and modernized TRIZ but also
derivatives of TRIZ, now called in different
names, e.g. Systematic Innovation, USIT, etc.
In the WTSP Around-TRIZ Catalogs, our rangeof fields is much wider; various methodologies
and approaches having essentially the common
goals with TRIZ. We wish to form cooperative
attitude among communities involved indifferent methodologies, for the purpose ofsolving various difficult problems in the world.

introductory and summarized, but often showstheir original sources which may be of limitedaccess with memberships or charges.
Accumulation of such information needs a lotof work. Internet surveys give us a flood of
noisy but insufficient information. That's why
we are struggling in the WTSP Project. Once wehave done the jobs, everybody can access theresults.
In October 2019, we received a message froma reader, Dr. Bill Fowlkes [13]. Please allow me
to cite his message here again (Fig. 6).

4.3 Categorizing Websites in WTSP Catalogs
As shown in Fig. 3, we use multiple schemesforcharacterizing/categorizing
variousWebsites. They are useful firstly for us tounderstand the individual site in multiple
aspects, and secondly to classify hundreds ofsites in the WTSP Catalogs. At moment, forlisting the sites in our WTSP Catalogs, we use
the categorization of TRIZ/Around-TRIZ, Siteevaluation, and Roles of site. It is the third basic
requirement that users want to find good
websites of their various interests. For thispurpose it is much desirable to get informationfrom the site owners about the application
phases, application fields, and methods handled
in their sites. This is our intention of using (b)the Standard Form (Fig. 3) instead of (a)ordinary brief free-format introduction.
4.4 What are the Merits of the WTSP
Catalogs?
The WTSP Catalogs, in their final form, haveaccumulated full information about TRIZ andrelevant methodologies in the units of websites
all over the world.
Advantage of websites as the unit of
information resource over others (such as
papers, web pages, books, journals, conferences,etc.) are already mentioned in Section 1.
Websites usually represent a body of thoughts
and activities of a group of people and kept upto-date for several years.
Contents are
introduced and shown in some systematicmanner. Websites are widely accessible fromany place and by any person, and their public
pages are open access without charge.
Information in the web pages is usually

Everybody in the world who wants to learn
and apply good methods need he WTSP
Catalogs for solving their difficulties/problems.
⚫ Experts in TRIZ (or any othermethodologies) need Them to get overview
of the fields and study some different groups
of works closely.
⚫ Practitioners need Them to find good
approaches in theory, methods, application
cases, etc. and to improve their capabilities.
⚫ Users need Them to find good teachers andconsultants for studying and introducing themethods into their work and theirorganizations.

⚫

Students and beginners need Them to learn
about what are the methods for problem
solving.
Site owners need Them for promoting theirWebsite, their methods, and their business.

4.6 Difficulties in the WTSP Project Itself
We have a main difficulty throughout ourhistory, as mentioned in Section 2. I.e., "Manypeople in the TRIZ community support (andjoin) WTSP, but very few of them actuallycontribute to WTSP." Here are discussions
about some reasons and solutions (trials) forthem.
(1) "Active, talented persons are always too busy
in their business." ==> Dividing the jobs forbuilding the WTSP Catalogs into many smaller
units (in a systematic and hierarchical manner)which can be achieved individually in parallel.
(2) "The vision of WTSP looks too big toaccomplish." ==> We have already built theBeta Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs. We
should enhance them further step by step.
(3) "No body in our country voluntarily serves
as the coordinator. It is a hard job, I don't want
to be."==> Coordination is absolutely
necessary when we have distributed many small
jobs. We wish to have (TRIZ) leaders in every
community/country.
(4) "Since I am just a user, I can't contribute."==> Users can make a list of favorite/
recommended websites in each country,
forming a good basis of Country WTSP
Catalogs.
(5) "I don't find any significance/merit of
introducing my own site in the WTSP Catalogs."==> See Sections 4.4 and 4.5.
(6) "I don't want to show my site in the Catalogs
together with my competitors having different
philosophies." ==> Diversity is essential insolving many different problems in the world;
thus our WTSP Catalogs should accept various
sites having different philosophies.
(7) "The WTSP Catalogs are not known widely
yet. Very few people introduce their sites." ==>The concept of Catalogs of websites in an(academic/industrial) field is new.
Pleaserecognize the significance of such an emerging
concept.
(8) "The WTSP Catalogs do not have a large
user base yet." ==> We are doing our best toenhance the WTSP Catalogs and get many users
as soon as possible. We need to make better
Catalogs first, before getting more users.
(9) "The WTSP Catalogs looks not attractive nor
useful." ==> Attractive and useful introductionsof individual sites are the basis. Please write
such introductions of your own sites.
(10) "Why don't you use AI for your project?"==> At the present stage, human specialists (i.e.,
ourselves) can do better jobs than AI, in writingsummaries/introductions to individual sites,
evaluating the sites, and collecting/selecting
good sites．(Since Internet search engines are
one of the most basic and frequently usedsoftware tools, it is natural that AI has been
incorporated into them as feasible as much.
Internet search engines have become much
faster, more powerful and convenient. But thequality of their outputs is very poor for our
purpose having the selection criteria shown in
Section 4.1. They pick up Web pages containing
the user-specified keywords and display a few
lines of texts, without evaluating the Web pagein reference to our diverse criteria. They cannot
evaluate individual Websites having a large
number of relevant and irrelevant Web pages.
And hence they cannot evaluate and select good
Websites in individual countries or in the world.)
We will need to wait for several years or somedecades. We will gradually use AI as an
assistant in our jobs in near future.
4.7 Strategies of the WTSP Project this year
The basic plan this year is to enhance the Beta
Edition of the World WTSP Catalogs [13]. Weshould do our best efforts for(1) Getting attractive and useful introductions ofindividual websites written by site owners. (2)Getting manuscripts of Country WTSP
Catalogs by collaborative team work in various
countries,
and we have recently decided to add anotherapproach of(3) Carrying out top-down Internet surveys in a
number of important countries and support thebottom-up jobs (1) and (2).
4.8 Recent Activities (May - Jun. 2021)
Top-down Internet surveys have been carriedout for the Websites in the following 14

- 541 -countries. With the help of Google Translator,
the detected Websites are quickly visited andtheir Site name and Site domain URL have beenshown. UK (68 Websites), France (55), Italy(50), Belgium (22), Netherlands (33), Germany(68), Poland (50), Sweden (19), Finland (21) ,Iran (64), Thailand (31), Korea (72), Australia(23), Canada (30).
No manuscripts have been submitted fromindividual Website owners nor from Country
teams for these two months, to our pity.
A new full paper in Japanese [15] (originallysubmitted in Dec. 2020 to the Journal of Japan
Creativity Society, but not accepted) has been
publicized in "TRIZ Home Page in Japan".
5. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Our vision of the World WTSP Catalogs has
been demonstrated well by the 'Beta Edition'(2020). We should enhance them step by step
this year. As discussed in Section 4.6, we havebeen facing with difficulties in obtaining active
contributions from people in the TRIZ
community. We are doing our best in thestrategies written in Section 4.7. It is mostimportant to keep our vision (Fig. 1) high andour passion and reliance on our TRIZ
community solid.
Let's work Together ! Connected !!

PROIECTUL SITE-URILOR DIN LUME LEGATE DE TRIZ (WTSP) (4): CATALOAGE
WTSP ALE SITE-URILOR TRIZ ȘI ASOCIATE TRIZ, SA LE FACEM ATRACTIVE ȘIUTILE!
Rezumat: Acesta este cel de-al patrulea raport al Proiectului mondial de site-uri legate de TRIZ(WTSP). După trimiterea lucrării noastre ETRIA TFC2020 (mai 2020), am realizat două marirealizări: (1) Finalizarea ediției beta a cataloagelor mondiale WTSP a site-urilor TRIZ și a site-urilor
din jurul TRIZ (iulie 2020). (2) Prezentarea activităților și rezultatelor WTSP la 4 conferințe
internaționale și 1 conferință internă legate de TRIZ desfășurate online (sfârșitul lunii septembrie începutul lunii noiembrie 2020). De atunci lucrăm pentru a îmbunătăți cataloagele WTSP prin (A)obținerea unor prezentări atractive și utile ale site-urilor web individuale scrise de proprietarii de siteuri și (B) obținerea manuscriselor cataloagelor WTSP de țară prin munca de echipă colaborativă îndiferite țări. Din păcate, cu toate acestea, am primit foarte puține contribuții până acum. Prezenta
lucrare explică structura actualelor cataloage mondiale WTSP, ilustrând cu noi exemple excelente deintroduceri în site-uri apropiate și, de asemenea, procesul de construire a acestora. Sunt discutate
dificultățile de a obține contribuții voluntare la proiect. Vom (C) realiza sondaje pe internet de sus în
jos într-o serie de țări importante și o să sprijinim locurile de muncă de jos în sus (A) și (B). Să lucrăm
împreună! Conectați!
