GCube Features

gCube is a complex system offering a number of features which are summarized below. These pages are expected to be produced by relying on this template.

Features are described via a number of diverse views including:

• a Functionality-oriented View where facilities are grouped according to a logically layered-oriented view including core facilities, data management facilities, data consumption facilities;
• a Domain-oriented View where facilities are grouped according to the domain they are serving, e.g. geospatial data management facilities.
