Core Components of INNOVA

1. Workspaces

• Definition: Workspaces are organizational units within INNOVA where users can manage multiple projects. Each workspace is owned by a user (workspace owner) who can invite collaborators.
• Functionality: Workspaces allow users to structure their projects and manage access and collaboration. Users can set up multiple workspaces to separate projects by different regions, crops, or objectives.
• Roles:
  • Owner: Full control over workspace and projects, can invite or remove collaborators.
  • Collaborators: Can view and interact with projects but cannot modify or delete the workspace.

2. Projects

• Definition: A project within a workspace serves as the primary unit of analysis and tracking. Each project is associated with one or more watchlists, which define the specific models, inputs, and areas of interest.
• Roles:
  • Owner: Full control over project settings and can invite workspace members as participants.
  • Participants: Can view project details and interact with watchlists but cannot edit project settings.

3. Watchlists

• Definition: Watchlists represent the modeling core of INNOVA, allowing users to analyze specific areas, crops, and conditions using model-driven insights.
• Inputs:
  • Model Version: Specifies the model type (e.g., Soil Suitability v1.2, Climate v2.3).
  • Area of Interest: Defines the geographical scope (e.g., state, county, custom geojson).
  • Model-Specific Variables: Each model has specific input requirements, like soil type, pH, or climate forecast.
• Outputs:
  • Predictive analytics, yield projections, soil suitability scores, and custom outputs depending on the model version.

4. Invite Team (Collaborator and Participant Management)

• Functionality: Allows workspace owners to manage team access across projects and watchlists, restricting permissions based on role to maintain control over data and settings.
• Roles and Permissions:
  • Workspace and project-level access management, with role-based restrictions to ensure secure collaboration.

4. GIS

• Functionality: The platform includes a sophisticated GIS interface for spatial analysis and visualization.
