GCube Data Catalogue: support for GRSF
In the following page are reported the relevant information for the GRSF Data Catalogue, which is available here. This page is somehow an extension of the main gCube Data Catalogue guide, you are suggested to read before continue.
The GRFS Data Catalogue stores, as well as allows the publication of products of two types: Stock and Fishery. A part from the default set of metadata, each type of product will also have specific fields. Some of them will also become automatically tags of the product. The same reasoning applies for group associations. In fact a set of groups was already available and the product will be automatically associated to them during publication, if that is the case. Fields that fire tags creation or groups association will be reported in the following as well.
The publication phase is performed by means of a RESTful service which accepts JSON objects.

Common Metadata
The following table shows the set of "core" metadata, that is the ones shared by both Stock and Fishery types. Some of them are retrieved during publication and will be filled automatically so that you don't need to worry about. The values given to some fields are automatically used to tag the product. Check the Is Tag column of the table below. Other fields have a controlled vocabulary (that is, they can assume a limited set of values), and the value assigned to these field allow to automatically determine to which group assign the product. Check the Is Group column below.

GRSF Publication Web Service
Publication of products is performed by means of a RESTful web service. Each call to the service requires the security token of the user for the context in which he wish to publish or exploit the other functionalities. Please note that in case of product publication it is needed that the user has enough privileges. The list of roles and associated privileges for the catalogue users is reported here. The VRE Manager assignes them.
