InGeoCloudS Portal

New applications should be accessible through the InGeoCloudS main application portal located in URL http://portal.ingeoclouds.eu. The Web Portal relies on the open source Sitools2 framework. Application providers will have to integrate the user interface of their applications with the portal using the back office functionality provided by Sitools2 in URL http://portal.ingeoclouds.eu/sitools/client-admin/. Sitools2 itself provides a very comprehensive user’s guide on how to perform the steps required to fulfil a specific task.

Here you can find more specific guidelines on:

• How to acquire an account for the back office interface of the portal
• How to integrate a new application with the portal
• How to add an application description
