Marketplace Packages¤

Starting with version 26.1, we support the creation and use of Marketplace Packages.

Marketplace Packages bundle everything for a specific eccenca Corporate Memory–based solution or project into a single shareable, managed artifact:

  • Vocabularies / Ontologies
  • (SKOS) Taxonomies
  • (Instance / Data) Graphs
  • Build Projects
  • Dependencies on

This lets you share and reuse them across projects, teams, and different Corporate Memory instances.

A Marketplace Package is distributed as a Corporate Memory Package Archive (.cpa file), a zip-based archive which you can either hand over directly or publish to a Marketplace Server - a central repository which supports pushing and pulling packages.

The lifecycle of a Corporate Memory Marketplace Package is shown in the following flowchart.
