gCube is a software system supporting the creation and operation of Hybrid Data Infrastructures.

This system has been implemented with the support of the European Commission in the context of a series of projects:

  • DILIGENT - A DIgital Library Infrastructure on Grid ENabled Technology (2004-2007);
  • D4Science - DIstributed colLaboratories Infrastructure on Grid ENabled Technology for Science (2008-2009);
  • D4Science-II - Data Infrastructure Ecosystem for Science (2009-2011);
  • iMarine - Data e-Infrastructure Initiative for Fisheries Management and Conservation of Marine Living Resources (2011-ongoing);
  • EUBrazilOpenBio - EU-Brazil Open Data and Cloud Computing e-Infrastructure for Biodiversity (2011-ongoing);

This Wiki contains information on gCube core activities, findings and outcomes.
