The system enables automated self-service through the workflow management module that automatically identifies personnel based on task requirements and expertise profiles, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining high accuracy in data identification and workflow control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual mechanical processes of personnel identification and workflow control are replaced by an automated digital system using the knowledge graph and workflow management module, which queries personnel databases and automatically assigns tasks based on predefined criteria and expertise matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated platform is implemented, then workflow efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata modeling efficiencyVSAvoidplatform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform integrates multiple functions including knowledge graph construction, personnel database management, workflow automation, and data modeling capabilities into a single unified system, reducing overall complexity by eliminating the need for separate systems for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The workflow management module acts as an intermediary layer between the knowledge graph/personnel database and the data modeling processes, abstracting complex automated operations into manageable workflows that improve efficiency without exposing full system complexity to end users

Inventive Principle:
