四個開源商業(yè)智能平臺比較(六)
roadmap是一個項目的計劃表，個人認(rèn)為任何一個項目都應(yīng)該有的，這樣你的developer能夠知道自己工作的項目處在什么狀態(tài)，也不至于每天都在沒日沒夜的忙，卻不知道自己在忙什么，這樣更能夠提高團(tuán)隊的士氣。
openI的roadmap我好像是看到過了的，但是等我去找的時候卻沒有了，所以直接跳過，如果有哪位朋友看到了，也請麻煩告訴我一聲。
JasperSoft
我找到的這一篇是November 2006的，找了半天也沒找到最新的，它是分各個不同組件的，我挑一些說一下：
1 。 Many components of JasperIntelligence are localizable. We are doing
a pass through to make sure localization works at all levels.
2 。 Dashboards Multiple reports and OLAP components displayed in a single screen
3 . Portal (JSR168) integration: portlets, security
4 . Report data sources in all JR query languages, including Mondrian and XML/A
5 . Scheduling Enhanced UI for scheduling management
6 . JasperAnalysis Filtering views according to user profile, not just role
7. JasperAnalysis Visual Schema Builder
Visual MDX builder
JasperETL是基于talend的，所以不在我討論之列。
1 可以看出jaspersoft的全球化的意圖，實際這也是每一個成熟項目都需要面對的。
2 DashBoard是BI展現(xiàn)層技術(shù)比較集中的一個地方。我本身沒有看過jaspersoft的DashBoard。
3 . portal是BI展現(xiàn)層不可避免要用到的技術(shù)，后面我也會就portal專門有一個篇比較的
4. data warehouse 也是支持越來越廣泛。
5. 任務(wù)調(diào)度必不可少
6. 基于profile的參數(shù)控制也算是基于權(quán)限控制的另一種途徑。因為普通的權(quán)限控制不可能滿足BI的要求，太多的參數(shù)要管理了
7. Visual , Visual , Visual 不知道它的MDX怎么做的，如果跟JPivot一樣就..................
pentaho的roadmap，官方甚至說沒有commitment（許諾),仍然挑幾條：
1. Accelerate dashboard creation by delivering a dashboard design tool.
2. Business users will be able to select from subject areas predefined
by administrator and apply filters (for example, certain time periods
or product lines) to select the subset of information they need.
3. Wizard-driven interfaces to streamline the deployment and optimization of OLAP cubes .
4. Easily incorporate data from multiple sources into Pentaho Data Mining solutions via Pentaho Data Integration.
5. Offer integration with Content Management Systems (CMS) to store and manage access to generated reports.
這是一個總的它的roadmap，它的各個組件還有各自自己的roadmap.
1. 用DashBoard Design tool來做Dashboard，易用性又提高不少，pentaho喜歡把tool做成基于eclipse的tools,spagoBI則是喜歡模塊化的設(shè)計，都基于web + plugin模式.
2. 預(yù)定義的filter，最后大家都可以共享和分發(fā)filter,有點(diǎn)像社交社區(qū)的功能
3. 用wizard-driven的方式來建cube，OLAP的功能會越來越厲害的，JPivot的不爽的另一種表現(xiàn)（挑撥離間我最在行，開玩笑的，大家別當(dāng)真）
4. 我也不懂什么意思，pentaho論壇上也有人問了，沒有回答
怎么集成的，怎樣data mining , 集成到哪了，kettle嗎？只有等release才知道
5. 終于還是要動用CMS來解決問題了，spagoBI在這點(diǎn)上領(lǐng)先一點(diǎn).
spagoBI
spagoBI的roadmap看了會讓你非常的驚訝，為了表示我對spagoBI這個雄心勃勃的項目的尊敬，貼出全部roadmap(加了數(shù)字）
First half 2007
Analytical engines and end-user functions
1 ETL: integration of Talend OS tool
2 OLAP: new OLAP engine for web based analysis or local spreadsheet elaboration - Integration of Palo/JPalo OS tool
3 OLAP: new XMLA engine, to integrate MS Analysis Services
4 QbE: profiling and filtering over data according to the behavioural model
5 Dashboard: enrichment and new components
6 Personal folders to storage private documents and the possibility of sharing them
7 Personal menus of quick access to all kind of documents
Developer/administrator functions
8 Scheduler: production, distribution and storage of off-line
reporting, deferred execution of documentary Dossiers, Mining or ETL
processes
9 Search engine
10 Predefined set of metadata to implement frequently used time parameters (ex. current month, current year, current date)
11 Self-analysis: analytical model developed with the SpagoBI
platform on its own metadata. This model offers the
developer/administrator the full visibility on the behavioural model
and on the analytical metamodel managed by the platform.
12 Rich client (Ajax) for the developer and administrator functions
13 Designers: enrichment and simplification of the interactions
with the platform for the development of the analytical documents
14 Evolution of the platform towards SOA architecture
15 Metamodel
Second half 2007
Analytical engines and end-user functions
16 Dashboard: new engine
17 Subscription: capability for the end-user to enter himself to the periodic delivery of predefined reporting.
18 Alerts and notifications
19 Geo-referenced analysis: improvement of the current engine and integration of GIS solutions
20 Navigation profile, to inherit settings during the vertical and
cross navigation between the analytical areas and documents
Developer/administrator functions
21 Installer and end-user interface for the configuration of the environment
22 Rich client (Ajax) for the developer and administrator functions
23 Designers: enrichment and simplification of the interactions
with the platform for the development of the analytical documents
24 Evolution of the platform towards SOA architecture
25 Metamodel
Applicatory development areas
* What-if
* BPM
有很多人認(rèn)為 pentaho有多么多么厲害，證據(jù)呢？能告訴我厲害在哪些方面嗎？這個roadmap也許會給你一個不一樣的答案pentaho宣傳做的很好，有microsoft的風(fēng)格，有什么都展現(xiàn)出來
spagoBI更像是一個默默努力的developer,技術(shù)一流，不懂的展現(xiàn)自己。
2和3是支持新的OLAP Server的，Mondrian可不是唯一的選擇。
4. 跟pentaho一樣基于profiling，只不過spagoBI有自己的behavioural model(行為模式) ,比pentaho厲害一點(diǎn)
5 . pentaho的DashBoard注重在易用性方面，spagoBI 則是強(qiáng)調(diào)在功能上
6 和 7.pentaho的cms只是一個plan,spagoBI已經(jīng)在做private folder和共享文檔了，還有導(dǎo)航，技術(shù)又高一點(diǎn).
8. mining ETLprocess ，后面我會在ETL的部分提到的
9 . Search Engine 基于lucene的search，cms一部分
10 .跟pentaho一樣，常用的查詢預(yù)先定義
18. 用戶通知方式的加強(qiáng).不知道會不會有 RSS的方式
19 . GEO 的查詢快要和GIS集成了，十分期待，不知道會不會一樣引用Google的API或是仍然基于原先的SVG.
21 - 25都是為用戶易用性和更好的用戶體驗做的增強(qiáng).
這篇文檔有很多的英文，英文不好的朋友可以下載一個星際譯王，emule上面有個綠色版，如果你不想麻煩的話，這也是個不錯的選擇.還是建議大家學(xué)好英文
呀，看英文文檔很方便的，最近跟美國那邊的客戶交流要搞死我了，長期不知道是他們的口音重還是我的詞匯不夠，同事也跟我一樣一頭的包，努力努力再努力，睡
覺是為了努力工作，努力工作是為了安心的睡覺.
睡覺去了，ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..............
下一篇介紹ETL的選型,敬請期待.
