Assets

This is the master definition for types of items that are supported on Sunbird. Example from education - Question set is an asset Analogous example from the real-world - A foot wear is an asset

An asset is the core system entity through which any type of asset is managed. Services such as creation, modification, publishing, discovery, consumption - are built around the core assets.

Knowlg provides a generalized and externalized asset model as shown in the below diagram.

e) Media Resources - This asset type comprises of lowest level of reusable assets such as images, video, audio files etc

  • Enables creation of categories to cater to domain specific solutions through configuration without any code changes.

Unlike an Asset, which is a core entity of the system, a category is just a “label” tagged to an object and can defined a specific set of properties and behaviors - which are a subset of those supported by the asset.

Hence, categories are completely driven by configuration, without any category specific logic implemented in the code.

Example from education - Exam Question paper, Practice Worksheet, Quiz each one is a category of the asset type Question set. Analogous example from the real-world - A Shoe, Sandal, Flip-flops each one is a category of the asset type foot wear.

  • Provides rich and customizable tagging frameworks to efficiently organize your assets and help users discover relevant assets.

  • Provides tools such as editors and players to create and consume these assets.
