Abstract
The study aims to design a system framework for a multilingual, inclusive, deliberative toolkit, coined as BOSESKO (Building on Opinions and Sentiments for Sustainability and Knowledge Opportunities), that can be used on the web and mobile devices. This solicits comments and feedback from the general public to encourage digital citizen participation before a natural disaster and climate adaptation, as well as on implementing the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education (UAQTE) to be deployed in different communities in the Philippines towards policy formulation. It explores emerging methods in artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and software integration for data gathering, processing, visualization, and system development. The study utilizes the descriptive method and prototyping methodology. The component-based, facade, BLOC, client-server, and cloud design architectural patterns serve as the foundation for the intended system's architectural framework. To illustrate the system's architectural approach, the use case and component diagrams are presented to highlight the methods, functions, and links between the various entities involved in the process. Multiple platforms integrated with application programming interfaces for web, mobile, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) were employed in developing the toolkit designed to work in the cloud environment. The system architectural framework was created with the end goal of providing a clear understanding of the complete system process, thus generating a positive evaluation using SAAM.
