Duckling (software)

Duckling, the collaboration environment software suite for e-Science, is an open-source software suite developed by the Collaboration Environment Research Center of Computer Network Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to meet the rapid progress of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ e-Science activities. The goals of Duckling include integrating various resources such as digital hardware, software and data, and building a high efficient and easy-to-use environment over Internet for scientists distributed in different positions to enable a new type scientific action mode.

Components

Duckling consists of UMT, DCT, CLB and DLOG.

  • User Management Tool (UMT): used for creating, editing and deleting users, groups and roles.
  • Document Collaboration Tool (DCT): used for data publish in wiki mode.
