Abstract

The Atlas Module was created in Google Summer of Code 2011 as a way for implementations to easily create and maintain a marker on the OpenMRS Atlas. The module has not yet been widely adopted for two reasons: (1) it has not been distributed as part of OpenMRS, since OpenMRS 1.10 was delayed and later changed, and (2) creating or updating a marker depends on the module running in a production system connected to the public internet.

This project aims to address both of these issues by making a version of the Atlas Module to be distributed within OpenMRS 2.0 and allowing an implementation's marker to be registered to an OpenMRS ID, allowing for a the marker to be created or revised outside of the module.

Project Champions

  • @Paul Biondich

  • @Hamish Fraser

  • @Darius Jazayeri

Skills Needed

  • Decent Java coding skills

  • Basic SQL skills

  • Some PHP experience will help

Objectives

  • New Features

    • Adapt the Atlas Module to run within OpenMRS 2.0

    • Allow markers to be filtered by type(s)

  • Marker Ownership

    • Refactor the Atlas Module and the OpenMRS Atlas website to register ownership of an implementation marker (via OpenMRS ID)

    • Provide a mechanism to "recover" control of a marker using the registered OpenMRS ID

    • Allow a user to link to an existing marker from within the Atlas Module, using their OpenMRS ID

  • Administration

    • Create administrative screen(s) for the Atlas Server to more easily manage markers

Extra Credit

  • New Features

    • Provide a tool to export a slide for presentation (e.g., using phantomjs to create slide-worthy image)

    • Provide an RSS with with last updated site

  • Marker Ownership

    • Allow a user to create their marker directly on the Atlas website

    • Allow a user to update or delete their marker directly on the Atlas website

    • Provide a mechanism to transfer ownership from one OpenMRS ID to another (registered owner specifies a new owner's OpenMRS ID)

Resources

Deliverables

  • Updated Atlas Module associating marker with OpenMRS ID with new functionality.

  • OpenMRS 2.0 Atlas Module integration.

  • Atlas website markers management functions + extra functionalities (markers filtering, color, …).

  • README in developer’s documentation explaining how are implemented new functionalities and Atlas Module App.

  • README in user documentation  explaining how to use Atlas Module App.

Communication Plan

  • Hangout meeting every monday and/or friday (~14:00-16:00)

  • Emails

  • IRC meetings

  • Gdoc for collaborative work.

Marker Search by OpenMRS ID

16 August – 22 August:

Wrapping up project, final touches.
Writing Wiki and developer doc.

Mockups

Enter Atlas Module

Just click on the OpenMRS Atlas icon from OpenMRS Ref App.

Atlas Module

In my mind, Atlas Module just render the Atlas Server into OpenMRS app, adding admin function as enable/disable marker update, send or not statistics.

Home Page

As a user can create or edit markers directly in Atlas Server, Atlas Module homepage can be an embedded view of Alas Server (maybe with <iframe> HTML tags for example), or just a map with user markers (maybe better idea !)

OpenMRS ID sign-in is required





Link/Unlink a server to a site in the Atlas

Enable or Disable Automatic Update
Edit your marker, show your counts chose to display them in Atlas
Show what is sent to OpenMRS

Atlas Server

Database

New database to manage markers created in Atlas Server and privileges
