Data Management APIs
From Gcube Wiki
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:
- adoption of standards
- implementation of a variety of protocols (e.g. Java, REST, SOAP, depending on the need and relevance)
- compliance to the Integration and Interoperability Framework
