Here are various views, diagrams, and notes on the overall Sinopia architecture. This page is likely to change (and change often) as we work through implementations in our current work cycle. A lot of the following has overlap with the defined Sinopia Data Models.

All of the following diagrams should be accessible in this open Google drive folder as well.

Conceptual Architectural

This is a high-level diagram of the full Sinopia system and it’s components. Where feasible at a high level, sub-system interactions and protocols are documented here:

Dataflow & Interaction Diagram

These are a list of “dataflow” and sequence diagrams to help unravel the expected and supported Sinopia system interactions. These are a level or two below some of the UX/UI work, focusing on the underlying systems.
