Gesture-Based Semantic Enrichment for Data Tiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
End-users are limited in performing semantic enrichment of data due to the need for IT tools controlled by administrators, and lack of user-friendly access to underlying semantic information, making it difficult to create new calculated data measures.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows users to perform semantic enrichment through simple gestures like drag-and-drop operations on a user interface, generating new data entities and modifying existing ones without requiring IT expertise, using a front-end device for display and a back-end device for processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If IT tools controlled by administrators are used for semantic enrichment, then data enrichment capability is provided, but end-user accessibility and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables end-users to perform semantic enrichment operations independently through a user-friendly interface. Users can drag and drop data elements, select enrichment types, and configure parameters without requiring IT administrator intervention or specialized knowledge, thereby achieving self-service data enrichment while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
A user-friendly interface acts as an intermediary between end-users and the complex semantic enrichment processing system. This interface translates simple user actions into sophisticated data enrichment operations, hiding the complexity of the underlying system while providing powerful enrichment capabilities to users
2Device complexity
If semantic information is kept hidden from end-users, then system complexity is reduced, but user ability to create new calculated measures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments semantic information into discoverable components that are presented in an organized manner to users. Through the user interface, semantic information is broken down into manageable units that can be explored and utilized for creating new measures, making the system both manageable in complexity and versatile in functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing and pre-presenting semantic information in a user-friendly format before users need to create new measures. This allows users to access and utilize semantic information without having to navigate complex system structures, thereby maintaining low perceived complexity while enabling high adaptability

AI summary
Provided are a system and method for semantic generation and enrichment. In one example, the method includes displaying a plurality of tiles on a user interface, each displayed tile visually representing a data entity obtained from a data file, detecting, via the user interface, a selection of a first displayed tile visually representing a first data entity and a second displayed tile visually representing a second data entity, and in response to detecting the selection via the user interface, generating a new data entity based on the first data entity visually represented by the first displayed tile and the second data entity visually represented by the second tile, and displaying a new tile visually representing the newly generated data entity. Accordingly, an end user can provide semantic creation and enrichment to visually displayed data without the need for an administrator.
