Release of non-normative documents

In addition to standards and Tractus-X artifacts, the association publishes non-normative documents (e.g., white papers), following a simplified release process with fewer stages than standards. The stages are:

  1. Planing
  2. Creation
  3. Release

Non Normative Process High Level

Release Stages For Non-Normatice Documents​

1.Planing​

The creation of these documents must be planned in the GitHub repository of the Expert Group by creating an issue.

2.Creation​

During this phase, the document is drafted collaboratively within the Expert Group. Authors develop the content, ensuring alignment with the association’s goals and quality expectations. Feedback and contributions from group members are incorporated through iterative reviews. The draft is maintained in the GitHub repository, where updates and revisions are tracked transparently.

After the creation phase, the document MUST undergo a review by the committee, serving as a quality gate before progressing further in the release process.

3.Release​

Once approved, the document must be officially published by the Expert Group. At a minimum, this involves adding it to their KIT, ensuring accessibility and visibility within the association. Additional publication channels may be used as needed.

NOTE

Although Non-Normative Documents are not binding standards, they still require careful review. Their content can significantly influence the association's reputation if published, making accuracy, clarity, and alignment with the association's values crucial during the review process.
