Description
-----------

The Content Manager service gives uniform access to content served by a variety of back-ends, both inside and outside the system. 
It is the central component of the gCube subsystem which deals with the organisation of content and related data.

The Content Manager Library (CML) offers linguistic abstractions over the content model and interface of the Content Manager service . 
The library includes:

 * the API for gDoc trees;
 * the API for gDoc tree predicates;
 * the stubs of the service automatically generated from the WSDL definition of its port-types;
 * the high-level calls, a set of abstractions over the service stubs;
 * a Java protocol handler and associated facilities for deriving and resolving content URIs, i.e. resolvable URIs to arbitrary nodes of gDoc trees.
