ToDo:1 1.2 List of Project-Related Publications The publications whose references do not include a download URI have been added to the CD. [1] Michael Kohlhase. Preparing DFG Proposals in LAT E X with dfgproposal.cls. Self-documenting LAT E X package, svn.kwarc.info/repos/kwarc/doc/macros/forctan/dfgproposal.pdf; ask the author for access [2]... 2 Please include a list of own publications that are related to the proposed project. It serves as an important basis for assessing ToDo:2 your proposal. The number of publications to cite here is determined as follows: Single applicant two publications per year of the funding duration Multiple applicants three publications per year of the funding duration These rules refer to the proposed funding duration for new proposals and the completed duration for renewal proposals. If you are submitting a proposal to the DFG for the first time and have therefore not published in the proposed research area, please list the up to five most important publications so far. 2 Objectives and Work Schedule (Ziele und Arbeitsprogramm) 2.1 Objectives O1: Supporting Authors This is the first objective, after all we have to write proposals all the time, and we would rather spend time on research. O2: Supporting Reviewers They are only human too, so let s have a heart for them as well. 2.2 Work Schedule 3 Give a short high-level introduction to how the work in the project should proceed, explain Tables 1 and 2. The project is ToDo:3 organized around two large-scale work areas which correspond to the objectives formulated above. These are subdivided into five work packages, which we summarize in Figure 1. Work area WA1 will run over the whole project 4 duration of ipowr. All three work packages in WA2 will and have to be covered simultaneously EdNote:4 in order to benefit from design-implementation-application feedback loops. Work Area 1: Management, Support & Sustainability This work-group corresponds to Objective O1 and has two work packages: one for management proper (WP1.1), and one each for dissemination (WP1.2) This work group ensures the dissemination and creation of the periodic integrative reports containing the periodic Project Management Report, the Project Management Handbook, an Knowledge Dissemination Plan (WP1.1), the Proceedings of the Annual ipowr Summer School as well as non-public Dissemination and Exploitation plans (WP1.2), as well as a report of the ipowr project milestones. 1 TODO: from the proposal template 2 TODO: from the proposal template 3 TODO: from the proposal template 4 EDNOTE: come up with a better example, this is still oriented towards an EU project 1 workplan.tex :27:40Z kohlhase

A project quality handbook will be defined, and a ipowr help-desk for answering questions about the format (first project-internal, and after month 12 public) will be established. The project management will consist of the following tasks T1 (M0-M3) To perform the administrative, scientific/technical, and financial management of the project T2 (M13-M17) To co-ordinate the contacts with the DFG and other funding bodies, building on the results in WP1.1T1 T3 To control quality and timing of project results and to resolve conflicts T4 To set up inter-project communication rules and mechanisms Work Package 1.2 Site JacU PCG (lead) all Dissemination and Exploitation Effort (RM+RAM) Much of the activity of a project involves small groups of nodes in joint work. This work package is set up to ensure their best wide-scale integration, communication, and synergetic presentation of the results. Clearly identified means of dissemination of work-in-progress as well as final results will serve the effectiveness of work within the project and steadily improve the visibility and usage of the emerging semantic services. The work package members set up events for dissemination of the research and work-in-progress results for researchers (workshops and summer schools), and for industry (trade fairs). An in-depth evaluation will be undertaken of the response of test-users.

RA Two research assistants (wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft) for implementation work. 3.2 Scientific Instrumentation (Wissenschaftliche Geräte; siehe A.2) More than C. does not apply Less than C. of the basic support. PC will cover the workspace, computing needs, and consumables for its staff as part Fees. does not apply 3.3 Consumables (Verbrauchsmaterial; siehe A.3) none BegOP:5 3.4 Travel Expenses (Reisen; siehe A.4) The travel budget shall cover: visits to external collaborators. We expect two international visits. We estimate that each visit will be most effective, if the junior researchers can spend about 3 weeks with the partners. Thus we estimate 2500 C per visit. visits to national conferences to disseminate the results of ipowr. We expect one visit for each year for each of the three researchers. (3 x 3 x 1000 C) visits to international conferences to disseminate the results of ipowr. These are in particular the International Joint Conference on Document Engineering (DocEng) and the Tech User Group Meeting (TUG). We expect one visit for each proposed researcher and for each year. (3 x 3 x 1500 C) EndOP:5 This sums up to a total amount of C for travel expenses for the whole funding period of three years which is split into C for each institute (PC and Jacobs University). 3.5 Publication costs (Publikationskosten; siehe A.5). does not apply 3.6 Other costs (Sonstige Kosten; siehe A.6) none 4 Preconditions for carrying out the project (Voraussetzungen für die Durchführung des Vorhabens) 4.1 Our team (Zusammensetzung der Arbeitsgruppe) ToDo:6 6 Describe the persons in the work groups of the sites and what they do and can contribute to the proposed project.

A.4 Reisen 8 Describe the planned travel and the budget necessary for this. Something like the stuff below will do. ToDo:8 Die beantragten Mittel für Dienstreisen dienen den folgenden Zwecken: Reisen zu den externen Kooperationspartnern. Wir rechnen mit vier internationalen Reisen im Projektzeitraum. Solche Reisen werden am effektivsten sein, wenn eine Person ca. drei Wochen vor Ort mit den Kooperationspartnern arbeitet, daraus ergibt sich ein Bedarf von ca. 2500Cpro Reise. Reisen zu nationalen Konferenzen, um die Ergebnisse von ipowr zu publizieren. Wir planen eine Reise pro Jahr und Mitarbeiter (3 x 3 x 1000C). Reisen zu internationalen Konferenzen, um die Ergebnisse von ipowr zu verbreiten. Potentielle Konferenzen sind dabei insbesondere: International Joint Conference on Document Engineering (DocEng) und das Tech User Group Meeting (TUG). Wir planen eine Reise pro beantragtem wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter und Jahr (2 x 3 x 1500C). Dies ergibt eine Summe von Cfür Reisekosten über den Projektzeitraum. Diese Summer wird zu gleichen Teilen von den angtragstellenden Instituten beantragt. 8 TODO: this needs to be convincing, otherwise this is one of the first places where the reviewers will cut the proposal. 7 mittel.tex :08:45Z kohlhase

Das Schreiben von Anträgen ist oft ein kollaboratives Unterfangen in dem Beiträge von mehren Partnern in einen kohärenten Text integriert werde müssen. Durch die Verwendung eines ASCII-basierten Formates wie L A T E X kann dieser Prozeß in einem Versionsmanagementsystem wie SUBVERSION unterstützt werden, wodurch sie das Projektteam auf das Schreiben konzentrieren kann statt auf die Mechanik der Integration. 9 TODO: from the proposal template 8 proposal.tex :47:33Z kohlhase
