Universal Content Broker Project
The Universal Content Broker (UCB) allows the application layer components to transparently access content with different structures, including the associated meta information to the content. The UCB contains a core and several Universal Content Providers (UCP).
The Universal Content Providers integrate different access protocols. The most important UCP implementations provide content for HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, and access to the local file system.
