Overview
gCube Data Management APIs provide access to the management of the e-Infrastructure resources by facilitating the integration of technology external to the e-Infrastructure. Towards the directions of openness and interoperability, management APIs move along:
- the adoption of standards
- the implementation of a variety of protocols (e.g. Java, REST, SOAP, depending on the need and relevance)
- the compliance to the Integration and Interoperability Facilities Framework
Key Features
- Consistency across different client APIs
- Uniformity for APIs across standalone framework layers in inputs and outpus, context management, fault management, operation modes provision, etc.
- Transparent system integration
- Design of APIs simplifying client usage, with respect to requirements specific to the system
- Environment propagation
- Operational information among services transparently propagated over a range of protocols (SOAP, HTTP/S, and more)
- Testability ensuring
- Design solutions that facilitate testing for clients
- Support to standards
- Crucial functionalities are accessible via recognized standards in order to enhance interoperability
- Compatibility endorsement
- Exploitation of framework simplifying building of modular systems
Subsystems
Data Management APIs are collectively delivered by the following sets of software subsystems:
