Solutions:
The implementation of three types of diagrams
To enhance the client’s product and win over its competitors, the project’s core was to develop and implement the three types of diagrams: Dependency, Inheritance, and Knowledge graphs.
A dependency diagram is a graphical representation of data that is distributed across multiple databases and data warehouses. Using artificial intelligence, this data is classified into distinct data sets and displayed visually in separate swimlanes. Each node in the diagram can be expanded or collapsed to reveal additional details in a collapsible property section. To ensure that the diagram remains legible and informative, the mechanism employs a sophisticated detection algorithm that can re-layout the data in real- time to suit any view or display.

An inheritance diagram is a visual representation of the hierarchical organization and relationships between data entities in databases and data warehouses. Each parent node in the diagram can have one or more child nodes, and vice versa, forming a complex web of relationships. The diagram employs an advanced layout algorithm based on a custom diagram layout that ensures the optimal arrangement of nodes and edges, making it easier to visualize and understand the data relationships. This diagram is particularly useful for the Zeenea’s users working with object-oriented programming languages and databases that support inheritance relationships.

A knowledge graph is an infinitely expandable diagram constructed using GraphQL API that represents complex relationships between various entities. With virtualization technology, the graph can efficiently handle several thousand nodes, allowing for faster rendering and navigation. The diagram is designed to be scalable, allowing for the addition of new nodes and edges without compromising the performance or structure of the graph. To aid navigation, the diagram also includes an applied minimap that provides an overview of the entire graph and enables users to quickly jump to different sections. Zeenea’s users find the knowledge graph particularly useful in domains such as natural language processing, semantic web, and machine learning, where the relationships between entities are complex and require advanced visualization techniques.

Interactive dashboard design
The interactive dashboard serves the role of the tool, gathering all crucial information about data for Data Managers, Data Stewards, and Data Catalog. To visualize the data, the team provided a fully interactive solution that is useful for the users and helps to understand their needs better.

An interactive dashboard is a tool designed for data management users, such as data managers, stewards, and catalog support. It allows users to monitor and control the entire process of implementing directories, analyze data usability, and build data catalogs.
Through selected diagrams and charts, users can quickly access all necessary information about the data, and examine properties and data quality.
The dashboard also features an interactive reporting feature for data stewards to communicate with data managers and view information on recent operations, logins, work progress, comments, and more.

We perceive Synergy Codes as a great technological partner whose way of work fits us well. While looking for a proficient service in creating graphical components, we wanted to work with experts that would advance our tool with exceptional UX and UI, which enabled us to win new deals with significant clients.
