Abstract: EarthCape is shipped with a sophisticated configuration tool that can take care of very specialized requirements of large institutional collections. In this demonstration we will include general system overview, collection management scenarios and live system customization. The platform includes a fully functional Windows client as well as a web application. The data are stored in the cloud or on-premises and can be accessed by users with various access and editing rights. Ease of customization (making changes to user interface and functionality) is critical for most environments that deal with operational research processes. For active researchers and curators, there is rarely time to wait for a cycle of development that follows a change or feature request. In EarthCape, most of the changes to the default setup can be implemented by system administrators or the end users with minimum effort and require no programming skills.
