The GIS Publisher service manages geospatial data and metadata in a gCube based infrastructure. It relies on the gCube information system to gather information on which platforms are available in the current scope, balancing the load between the different platform instances. Its goal is to deal with the heterogeneous GIS platforms offering a common interface to other gCube services / application which need to publish geospatial data. Since each platform has a different approach on how to manage data, the GIS Publisher service is designed as a pluggable service, delegating to each plugin the platform specific interaction to third party software. Other than abstracting from specific GIS platform implementations, the GIS Publisher balances the load between the platform instances, and manages the replicas of the same services.
