Proposal for the Smart CP

Architecture

SMART Content Provider Project

Potentiate intelligent CMS platforms.
How?
Aggregation mechanisms applied to heterogeneous information (where
data structures / objects are not known beforehand)

AI algorithms for detecting and suggest related data clusters according

to semi-structured data
Visual mechanisms for presenting and exploring data using nonconventional interaction controls

Objectives

Agility
Efficiency
Simplicity
Discovery
Structure
General

Objectives
Agility: creating visual dashboards which enable the decision making process
within a reduced time and supported by further / better knowledge

Efficiency: content visualization, interaction and analysis in real time, aggregated

and with possible suggestions regarding the most relevant data

Simplicity: using a simple language for visualization and exploration which enable
usage by non-experts / non-technical users

Objectives
Discovery: the way to interact with information, enabling the detection of direct
(or indirect) relations hidden within complex data

Structure: information aggregation according to similarity or group criteria, where

drill-down capabilities can be applied to partial data universes

General: the general applicability for all previous objectives, not conditioned to a
specific information domain, but of widespread domain application

Architecture
General considerations:

Data Sorting (materialized by the SMART Views), will allow to do filtering and sorting operations of
contents. Its results may be viewed directly or used as other visualization components inputs.

Client Side SMART Elastic

Filter contents based on the enumerated fields of its own contents

Allow to dynamically define:

Which the filtering dimensions are
Which content fields will show as a result

Allows the creation of rules based on the AND / OR operators

Very fast response time

Client Side SMART Magic Board

Representation on a 2D plan

Cross-checking of dimensions of data

Allows the representation on a matrix

Allows the representation through the form of colour, size and shape

Allows to select part of the whole universe of data

Client Side SMART Graphs

Simple representation of the result dispersion (enumerated?) on standard charts

Client Side SMART Navigation

Logic of Dashboard/control panel

Presentation of metrics and possible actions to be made over an aggregated set of

contents

Allows to highlight situations that require more attention from the user, on a more
graphic way

Client Side Accountability

Visual representation of temporal events over contents

Allows a chronological vision of events

Possibility of time proportionality of the actions taken

Track-changes of the changes made? (to discuss)

Who made what and when?

Client Side Workflows

Graphic component that allows the generic creation of workflows

Totally generic and of global applicability.
