Management of Deliverables

Publication Categories

Each deliverable produced by the ToIP Foundation may be rendered for publication in a variety of formats. There are two categories:

Publication Category Description Format Options
Basic A work-product rendered in only one format. Markdown
Multi-Modal A work-product rendered in multiple formats. Markdown, PDF, HTML

Table 2: Depicts the possible publication categories.

Note: Regardless of publication category, the authoring process may leverage more than one Markdown file to produce the final work-product.

Publication Access

This repo serves as the storage repository for work-products within the Basic publication category. These work-products can be found in the recommendations folder.

Each work-product within the Multi-Modal publication category will have a dedicated repository within the ToIP Github Organization with unique publication process details.

Unique Deliverable Identifier

Our trustoverip/next-deliverable-num repo provides a simple webpage generator for the next available 4-digit deliverable identifier. This number is computed by determining the number of repos in the GitHub Org plus the number of existing folders in the recommendations folder. See Issue 1.
