The Information Organisation services are dedicated to the management of content in gCube, including storage, access, description and annotation.

Central to the subsystem is the Content Manager, a service that provides uniform interfaces to access content stored in (or in turn accessed through) a wide variety of back-end services, both inside and outside the system.

One distinguished back-end of the Content Manager is the Storage Manager, a service that holds and serves content within the system.

Two distinguished clients of the Content Manager are the Metadata Manager and the Annotation Manager, two services that describe and annotate content, respectively.

All the services in the subsystem align with the design patterns of an abstract architecture, the Open Content Management Architecture.
