gCube CMS Suite
###############



The gCube CMS Suite is a gCube Application designed to manage the publication workflow of complex documents (i.e. comprising of multi-level extensible metadata, attachments.. ) called Projects.
It can manage the entire lifecycle of Projects, from their creation to access including :

- CRUD operations
- Role based access to Projects and lifecycle operations for moderation purposes
- Dataset Materialization (e.g. Image preview, SDI support)
- Dataset Indexing (e.g. ISO Metadata Catalogues, Centroids layers, CKAN)
- Dataset Processing (e.g. DataMiner)
- Customizable Insertion Forms, Navigation and Access GUIs

Every Project is associated to a Use Case Descriptor, which defines :
- Role based access and operation
- Project validation schema
- Involved plugins configuration (e.g. lifecycle type, materialization, GUIs)
