GCube Information Organisation Services (LEGACY)

The gCube Information Organisation Services is the family of subsystems implementing the services supporting the management (storage, organisation, description and annotation) of information. These services implement the notion of Information Objects, i.e. logical unit of information potentially consisting of and linked to other Information Objects as to form compound objects. in the services are organised in three main functional areas: (i) the storage and organisation of such Information Objects and their constituents (Content and Storage Management); (ii) the management of the metadata objects (actually implemented as a kind of Information Object) potentially equipping each Information Object (Metadata Management); and (iii) the management of the annotations objects (actually implemented as a kind of Information Object) potentially enriching each Information Objects (Annotation Management).
