7. How do you currently manage your service portfolio?
The service portfolio is powered by gCube
Statistics form
openhub.net/p/gCube
Each Resource (service, software, dataset, node, …) is represented with an XML profile compliant with a predefined schema
Resource schema are application profiles either inheriting properties from standards or defyning custom properties
Registration, validation, persistence, discovery, and access are served by a number of web services (fully replicated and fault-tolerant)

New version of the gCube technology to
Reduce the cost of operation
Support medium-term evolution without porting

Support facet versioning
Support not predefined resource relationships
Projects
