This is an Alfresco DevCon presentation TeamPatent founder, Rocky Kahn, and I gave to show the power of collaborative editing of complex documents stored in Alfresco using an advanced, browser-based editor that can be applied to specific domains such as Medical Records, Patents, Contracts, etc.

2. EdYT: Browser-Based CoEditor
Like Google Documents (real-time browser-based co-editor)
plus:
Validating, Autocompleting, Crosslinking
Compound document support
Run on premises
3. Making Systems of Record Engaging
Ad hoc emails, spreadsheets, MSWord docs live in unstructured
space ("S-drive") between Systems of Record and Systems of
Engagement.
Currently, only theexistenceof these documents can drive
workflow but nothing inside the documents is structured, limiting
automation & discoverability.
EdYT intuitively provides structure within otherwise free-form
documents.
4. Example 1: TeamPatent
TeamPatent is an example of EdYT applied to Patent Preparation
and Examination:
Customer: US Patent & Trademark Office
Historical IT budget: $125m
Project Scope: Replace entire IT system
Significance: Profound
5. USPTO Characteristics
6250 patent examiners
Valuable work product
Labor-intensive examination process and enormous backlog yet
consistent inability to catch up
Commodity approaches rejected by stakeholders resulting in
repeated IT development failures
6. Patent system overhaul drivers
Recognition at very top of our admin that innovation is
incredibly important to our country and to the world; that
innovation is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage;
that the US is an innovation-driven economy; and that innovation
creates jobs. And therefore the USPTO, which is an agency which
protects innovation--in fact it's THE agency that protects
innovation--is a jobs agency.The secretary of commercehas given me
a mandate to blow up anything I need to in order to fix the USPTO
and the US patent system.
7. Complex Structure
There are several types of relations woven through a patent
application:
350 numbered references (e.g. "axis 20")
150 callouts in 12 drawings
130 unnumbered terms (e.g. "rotation axis")
30 figure references (e.g. "FIG. 1")
29 claim references (e.g. "claim 1")
TOTAL: ~700 references
8. Example 2: Junit
Cloud-basedjournalism serviceallowing journalists,
photographers, and editors to co-edit articles and manage
workflow.
Diagnoses(e.g. Major depressive disorder, currently in major
depressive episode panic disorder with agoraphobia, attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder 29633)
