Solution Development

Pipeline Composer

The Pipeline Composer is the starting point for any solution created with the AO Platform. Data comes first, and the Pipeline Composer allows the user to retrieve, transform, and save data in preparation for use by creating application components.

Ontology Composer

The Ontology Composer allows the user to create Managed Semantic Objects (MSOs), tying together the physical data with additional descriptions, relationships, and intelligence on how data shall behave and look when visualized in application components. MSOs are typically organized into domains, and the structure of such domains is referred to as a domain ontology.

• Ontology Viewer - is used to get an overview of the individual MSO ontology or the complete domain ontology.

Model Composer

The Model Composer is the key user interface allowing data science staff to create Machine Learning Models, which can be deployed to the AO Platform and applied to Applications within a Solution. The overall Model Composer workflow includes: Creating and configuring, Training, Comparing, Deploying, and Testing the Models.

Insights Composer

The Insight Composer allows the creation of Insights from different types of Models created with the Model Composer and/or otherwise made available to the AO Platform. Insights is the general name given to the output from the Machine Learning (or otherwise computed) Models. Insights are either scheduled system-generated, or requested on-the-fly by users, and in both cases are available via Easy Answers solutions shown with other Apps on the Easy Answers dashboards, or in response to users requesting more details from Apps.

UI Composers

The UI Composers collectively are responsible for displaying data on the screen, including application components, data interaction, layout, page, and solution composition.

• Solution Composer - create and deploy an Easy Answers solution that will appear with its own solution icon and label in the Solution menu.

• Page Composer - create pages containing one or more Applications. Pages form the main ingredients in a Solution.

• Layout Composer - create layouts that can be used to position a) multiple MicroApps inside an Application container, and b) multiple Applications inside the Page container.

• Template Composer - create Cue Card and Data View templates. Cue Cards and Data Views are special MicroApps that require a template as the basis for their property configuration.

• Application Composer - create applications containing one or more MicroApps.

• Annotation Composer - create annotation components. Annotations can be used by the end-user to enrich and/or provide feedback on data at runtime.

Transport Tool

The Transport Tool allows the user to easily export and import all the various components of a solution. This is typically used if various solution elements, such as Pipelines, Templates, MSOs, Applications, etc… are developed in one AO Platform environment, but need to be deployed into production in a different AO Platform environment.
