The Content Manager service provides its clients with uniform access to content hosted or served by a variety of back-ends, both inside and outside the system. It is the central component of the gCube subsystem that deals with organisation of content and related data.
Service Design
The Content Manager is designed as an OCMA service. In OCMA terms, it classifies as a multi-type, 1-N adapter service:
- it is a multi-type service because it supports two front types for, respectively, reading and writing content modelled as labelled trees. Collectively, the front types and the tree content model form the
gDoc
access type of the service. - it is an adapter service because it adapts the
gDoc
type to multiple back types. For this, the service employes an open architecture of type-specific plugins to which it delegates the creation and operation of its collection managers.
