gCube Information Retrieval Engine differentiates from federated search. Data and services are scattered over the infrastructure instead of being contained in confined sub-sections, made accessible via narrow interfaces. Grid, where gCube runs, is not meant for interactive work, but offers a vast pool of resources for processing large amounts of information. In such domain it comes as natural consequence the preference of machinery that can employ the afforementioned resources for offering a different range of services, over a traditional search facility.
