ToIP Deliverables

Under our Linux Foundation Joint Development Foundation (JDF) charter, each ToIP Foundation Working Group (WG) can produce a variety of deliverable types. This repo covers the lifecycle management process for the work products ("deliverables") of the ToIP Foundation.

Figure 1: The five (5) primary types of ToIP Foundation deliverables

deliverables

Table 1 summarizes the primary differences between these five types:

Deliverable Type Designed to be:
Specification Implemented (in code)
Glossary Incorporated (in other documents)
Recommendation Followed (in practice)
Guides Executed (in operation)
White Paper Understood (to support decisions)

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 delivered in only one format. Markdown
Multi-Modal A work-product delivered in multiple formats. Markdown, PDF, HTML

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.

Portal Development

This repo contains the content resources for the generation of documentation associated with the contribution process and state of our deliverables. It contains the tools necessary to generate this documentation in two rendering formats (printed, online). Please refer to our Portal Build Process for more details.

Getting Started with the ToIP Foundation

The ToIP Foundation maintains a variety of active and inactive activities that adhere to a specific process for the maturation and publication of deliverables that are relevant to:

  • Work within the same working group
  • Work within another working group
  • Work within another community or SDO

There are several ways in which you can get acquainted with our work.

Learn

If you are here to explore the work products of the ToIP Foundation, we recommend you refer to the Deliverables Results section of our Deliverables Portal as it provides a current listing of all work product efforts and their statuses.

Contribute

If you have an idea for a new instance of one of our types of deliverables, please consider making a contribution:

Consume

The goal of the ToIP Foundation is to help define a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust that combines both cryptographic trust at the machine layer and human trust at the business, legal, and social layers. Our work products with be positioned at various levels of such an architecture and will mature at disparate rates. Please familiar yourself with the lifecycle management process for our deliverables and then when/where appropriate we welcome your feedback on how you plan or have consumed our work. Please keep us informed of your activities by submitted a pull-request against our adoption matrix.
