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 [https://gcube.wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/index.php/Integration_and_Interoperability_Facilities_Framework Integration and Interoperability Facilities Framework]

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:

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:

Data Access and Storage APIs

Data Transfer APIs

Data Assessment and Harmonisation APIs
