Using Moose to understand and visualize complex non-software artifacts?

Hi all,

For the moment this is just and idea and I really don't have any
implementation details, but there are a large institutions (say a City
Hall or a government entity, a large enterprise) with lots of
information that could be visualized, be queried and be understand as a
complex system in a similar fashion to what Moose does to helping to
understand complex software systems. As far as I know, nobody has used
Moose in this context, but I would like to know your opinions and views
on this matter and if you know a more specific tool for that with the
same level of flexibility, integration and interactivity of Moose.

Cheers,

Offray

Of course, it can be used. This is why we call Moose "a platform for
data and software analysis" :).

I actually used it once for analyzing qualified data that was not
related to code.

Whether Moose is what you want depends on the requirements. First, you
should understand that Moose is a platform targeted to developers.
Second, when you go into new data, the questions are always about
format and size. Modeling data is typically not hard, especially at
first, but scalability can be an issue.

Also, when going towards analysis of business data you quickly get
into the area of business intelligence tools (i.e., data cubes).

Cheers,
Doru

Hi Tudor,

Thanks for your answer. I have been looking at Moose this weekend and
despite of being what I would love to use, it seems too targeted to
developers at this moment. I will go first with a more general
visualization software like profuse or processing, hoping to learn
enough to some day make contributions to data viz in Moose. By the way
I have seen that the galleries of that projects have thumbnails linked
to full size images. Should be good to make this in the Visual Hall of
Moose also.

Cheers,
