As last part of this series I have looked into the enhancement of using tabs in Corporate Publisher (CP). Since over 20 years Casewise developing  modeling tools that is leading markets in Enterprise Architecture (EA), Business Process Analysis (BPA), Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) and Business Process Management (BPM). The reason for this is the very strong capability to visualize content of the Corporate Exchange (Corporate Modeler Database on SQL or Oracle). Its flexibility makes is possible to use all kind of new technology, this post tries to show some possiblities. I have looked mainly into Google Technology like:

• Google Maps
• Google Charts
• YouTube Players

The graphical representation of textual information is very important in order to attract project members, stakeholders, and so on. Especially  the top management CEO, CFO, CTO, .. is looking for charts, dashboards on enterprise wide information. So why not make your content more attractive?

Google Maps with Corporate Publisher (CP)

As consultant I am using Google Maps nearly every day, to find my clients or to plan trips, so I was thinking how could I use the maps as part of an enterprise wide model? Since many years the Please Login or Register to see the link.model is around (watch here the full story)  the “L” stands for Location. So I have simple linked Corporate Modeler data with Google Map API (Please Login or Register to see the link.) and Corporate Publisher is displaying this in a very neat fashion on the HTML web site.

As you can see in the image above the Corporate Modeler properties of the object type Location is on the left hand side and the different colour coded areas are showing where this data is used in the HTML output of Corporate Publisher. The great flexibly of this this solution is that it is complete customizable and e.g. the white info window can be filled with any data of Corporate Modeler!

Google Charts with Corporate Publisher (CP)

Google Charts is an amazing library of various charts, e.g. Line Charts, Bar Charts, Pie Charts, Venn Diagrams, Scatter plots, Maps, Goole-o-meters, QR codes. You can find here the full specification of these charts (Please Login or Register to see the link.). In my example I have used a bar chart and the google-o-meter.

Google Chart with Corporate Publisher (CP)

Similar to the previous example I have used the properties of the object type Applicaton (its the A of POLDAT). For the “number of licenses” I have used the bar chart, coloured in red. For visualizing the “System Uptime” I have used the Google-o-meter. Also here pretty much everything customizable on Google site but also in Corporate Modeler or in Corporate Publisher. With CP Scripting you can define the exact place of each HTML item.

YouTube Players with Corporate Publisher (CP)

I am using YouTube for publishing Please Login or Register to see the link. around Please Login or Register to see the link. – Please Login or Register to see the link. – Please Login or Register to see the link. – Please Login or Register to see the link.. The practical use for an enterprise wide modeling exercise  is to distribute knowledge to the stakeholders (team members, project sponsors, end users,..). It could be used as manuals for applications, guidance or “How to guides”, and so on.

You Tube with Corporate Publisher (CP)

In my example I have used the “user defined video player” of You Tube and used CP scripting to place the video player in a specific tab on the main index page of this HTML publication. You can also create your own player with You Tube API that allows you programatically load videos (Please Login or Register to see the link.) I hope you can apply these ideas to your own project and would appreciate your feedback.
