Solution graph for managing content in a multi-stage project

Abstract

A method and system provide the ability to manage entities of a marketing domain model in a multi-state workflow. Multiple entities are acquired in a content hub. Each entity is a set of data that belongs together as one and includes properties that describe entity details. Relations are created between the multiple entities to give meaning to the marketing domain model. A solution graph is generated that represents all of the multiple entities (nodes) and relations (edges). Inside the solution graph, a state workflow can be created for each node. Nodes can be linked to a state and there are transitions between the states. Multiple non-linear state workflows can be orchestrated by an overall waterfall-based workflow (that is linear and time duration based. A graphical user interface enables management of and renders a representation of the multiple entities, the solution graph, and the workflows.
