GAT Chain - approach to development of Guidelines
Current drafts of all GAT Chain Guidelines are indexed and linked at http://www.eto.org.uk/gat/guides/
Templates for those engaged in producing new draft Guidelines are at:
- Template
1 - http://www.eto.org.uk/gat/guides/templ1.htm
- For a "bottom up" approach, staring from a discussion of
the requirements and focusing in on a Guideline through comment and discussion;
- Template
2 - http://www.eto.org.uk/gat/guides/templ1.htm
- For a "top down" approach, starting from a Provisional Guideline
and refining this through challenge and discussion, which will also elicit
rationale and supporting materials.
This Provisional Guideline - [name of draft guideline] - is being
developed using the top down approach.
General note on terminology
For the purposes of ACTS Telework Guidelines, the following general meanings
are ascribed to terms in all Guidelines:
- "telework"
- Any activity where information and communications technologies
(ICTs) are applied to affect the geography of work
- "teletrade"
- The use of online or networking methods to reach customers, whether
for marketing, sales, delivery or support activities
- "telecooperation"
- The use of online or networking methods to enhance human communications,
whether one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many
A discussion of the terminology of telework is available at the eto website
(Telework & Telecommuting:
Common Terms and Definitions - http://www.eto.org.uk/faq/faq02.htm)
and the terms used in GA ACTS Telework Guidelines are assumed to reflect
the meanings defined in that paper unless otherwise stated. An updated glossary
is being developed by the ETD project and will be referenced in Guidelines
when it becomes available.
