 #############################
 
 
+gCube Model is a resource model built on top of the Information System (IS) Model which captures the different aspects of the resources and their relations playing significant roles in a research infrastructure empowered by gCube. 
+
+
+This Model is part of research conducted in the context of a PhD. This wiki page represents just a partial view of the full rationale of the research. To have a complete overview of the rationale of the model, please refer to the PhD thesis which is publicly available at:
