Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Researchers in China face challenges in developing comprehensive and dynamic Data Management Plans (DMPs) due to a lack of structured expression methods, flexibility, and team collaboration tools, leading to scattered, unintegrated, and redundant content.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating a scientific data management plan in the field of population health based on a mind map, which involves obtaining semantic knowledge, building a semantic knowledge model, mapping information into a mind map, establishing the mind map, and generating a data management plan, facilitating dynamic updates and team collaboration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional text documents are used to write DMPs, then implementation is simple and easy, but structured expression is lacking making it difficult to clearly express relationships and dependencies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mind map visualization tool as an intermediary between researchers and their data management plans. This visual representation tool serves as a mediator that transforms textual DMP content into structured graphical representations, enabling clear expression of relationships and dependencies while maintaining ease of use through intuitive visual editing rather than complex text formatting
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional text documents to three-dimensional visual mind maps with hierarchical structures. This dimensional change allows researchers to represent complex relationships, dependencies, and data flow paths in a visual format that preserves structured expression capability while remaining accessible and easy to manipulate through drag-and-drop operations
2Ease of operation
If traditional text documents are used to write DMPs, then implementation is simple and easy, but flexibility is lacking making it difficult to quickly adapt to dynamic changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adaptability in mind maps through visual editing capabilities that allow researchers to easily add, remove, and reposition nodes and connections. The graphical interface enables real-time modifications to DMP structure without requiring text rewriting, allowing quick adaptation to changing research requirements while maintaining a simple operational interface
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the DMP into discrete visual nodes representing different data management components (acquisition, storage, sharing, etc.). This segmentation allows researchers to independently modify specific sections of the DMP without affecting the entire document, providing flexibility for dynamic changes while keeping the overall structure organized and easy to implement
3Ease of operation
If traditional text documents are used to write DMPs, then implementation is simple and easy, but team collaboration is difficult with potential conflicts and duplications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple DMP versions and team member contributions into a single unified visual mind map. The graphical representation consolidates data management plans from different researchers, allowing easy identification and resolution of conflicts through visual comparison, while eliminating duplications through the shared visual structure that all team members can access and edit
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms in the mind map system that allow team members to view real-time changes made by others. The visual interface provides immediate feedback on modifications, enabling collaborative editing where changes are automatically reflected for all users, reducing conflicts and duplications through transparent, synchronized viewing of the DMP

AI summary
A method for generating a scientific data management in the field of population health based on a mind map includes the steps of: obtaining semantic knowledge of a data management plan, and an original data management plan based on requirements of a project; building a semantic knowledge model and mind map mapping specifications of the data management plan based on the semantic knowledge of the data management plan; mapping information about each part of the original data management plan into node information, additional information and information about tree structure relationships among nodes of the mind map based on the mind map mapping specifications to form a mapping relationship; and generating and exporting a scientific data management plan based on the mind map.
