Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data from different domains are integrated using traditional methods, then data accessibility is improved, but system complexity increases due to varying schemas and security mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a unified data model and service model as intermediary layers between diverse data sources and users. These models abstract away the complexity of varying schemas and security mechanisms, enabling data from different domains to be accessed uniformly without exposing the underlying system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified data model and service model serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide a common interface for data access, implement security control mechanisms, and enable analytics across domains. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each concern, thereby reducing overall system complexity while improving adaptability.
2Reliability
If unified security control is implemented across data access and analytics, then security management is improved, but integration difficulty increases due to different domain security mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The service model acts as an intermediary that implements unified security control. It translates and coordinates between different domain security mechanisms, providing consistent security management across all data access and analytics operations without requiring direct integration of each domain's security system.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified data model and service model change the parameters of data representation and access control. By standardizing how data is modeled and how security is applied across domains, the system achieves unified security management while reducing integration difficulty through parameter standardization.
3Productivity
If analytics derive insight across data from different domains, then analytical capability is improved, but data integration difficulty increases due to varying schemas
Solution Approach 1:
The unified data model serves as an intermediary that standardizes data representation across domains. Analytics can operate on this unified model without dealing with the complexity of varying source schemas, thereby improving analytical capability while the model handles the integration difficulty behind the scenes.
