New Structure of the BPG

Goal of D2.9 BPG:
  1. Mini: 2-3 pages with a simple outline of the working steps (chronological order of chapters according to the practical workflow)
  2. Midi: 15 - 50 pages with a rough outline, main point descriptions to each chapter (working step); chapters are again ordered to follow the practical workflow
  3. Spee (Special extended edition): will be mainly D2.6 but as you all know we still lack proper decisions on the technical IT stuff! These shall be of course included in full manner as well as practical, worked examples where appropriate and of course content amendment where necessary!!
These three version shall meet the demands of the readers, a very short version (mini) to get an overview of what there is to come, a middle length version (midi) with which you can already work and a long detailed version (spee) where everything is explained in detail and one can follow step by step what there is to do to provide the downloadable item in the portal. Worked examples to the chapters (working steps) will faciliate a better understanding of how it can be done.

Carrying out: based on the markings of the most important text passages in each chapter we shorten the BPG for the mini and midi version. The spee version will be mainly D2.6 but more extended if possible.
Follow the instruction in the "How to re-write chapters for the BPG" section below!
