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.
