The goal of this activity is to lay the foundations towards Integration and Interoperability for supporting the exploitation of the gCube-based Data e-Infrastructure facilities by other neighbouring and external ones. These activities include the definition of the Integration and Interoperability Frameworks of gCube and the establishment of a methodology for their evolution.

Methodology

A specific methodology has been defined to drive the whole activity (Methodology).

Such methodology is based on a number of Working Groups.

Integration and Interoperability Framework Definition

An overview of the entire framework is available at Integration and Interoperability Facilities Framework.

Specifications for each topic analyzed in the context of Integration and Interoperability Facilities Framework Definition can be found below:
