gCube Workspace

The gCube Workspace is a web-system (made from many components) that built a web-gui to manage the Workspace in the D4Science infrastructure. The Workspace is a collaborative area where users can exchange and organize information objects (workspace items) according to their specific needs. Every user of any Virtual Research Environment is provided with this area for the exchange of workspace objects (share) with other users. Such an area is further organized in workspaces as to resemble a classic folder-based file system.
