GCube Document Library

Design Overview

The ContentManagementLibrary (CML) is a library that works on top of the Content Manager. This library offers a simpler way for client to access documents in the d4science system. The major change in the ContentManager is the document model (more generic, more extensible), the CML reduces the development costs for using this new feature.

• the CMWriter is used to add document or update it or a part of it;
• the CMView is used to get documents from a specific view of a collection.
