Hi,

we are looking for a 2D file/diagram viewer compatible with https://developer.cognite.com/api/#tag/Annotations to be used inside our own application, that is outside of the Cognite application suite.

Question: What are the current plans regarding opening “Unified File Viewer” in a similar fashion as https://github.com/cognitedata/reveal?

Bonus question: Is it / would it be possible to annotate other things than asset tags?

Hi @Simon Jonassen,

 

 We are considering making the “Unified File Viewer” a reusable component that can be used in other applications. Being part of our 2024 roadmap. 

 

As of “Is it / would it be possible to annotate other things than asset tags?” could you please give more details? What would be the use case?

 

Thank you,

Andreea.

Thank you for the reply @Andreea Pastinaru and happy to hear that there is plan for this to happen next year.

Broadly speaking, our team is working on building a cyber-physical graph that connects OT and and IT infrastructure. The OT part is typically modelled as assets in the CDF while IT part usually not. IT information typically resides in CMDB and third-party vendors, however there are diagrams and system documents in CDF that describe the connection between IT and OT, as well as functionality of the OT side.

The diagrams that we have been looking are for example:
- Loop and layout drawings (files having NORSOC code I-XU, I-XE)
- Logic and System Control Drawings (I-XL).
- Block Diagrams (I-XI), Network Drawings (E-XI, Z-XI), Network Topology (I-XI, T-XI)
- Functional descriptions (I-FD) and functional design specification (I-SA)


Hope this clarifies the use case a bit, DM you for a more elaborate discussion.

Best regards,
Simon
