+# Development and Publication of Marketplace Packages
+
+## Introduction
+
+Marketplace Packages are archives that bundle content, functionality, and configuration from Corporate Memory for sharing and reuse.
+
+Each package has its own release cycle.
+Packages can be installed and uninstalled during runtime.
+
+In order to support the development and publication of Marketplace Packages, we published a [package-template](https://github.com/eccenca/cmem-package-template).
+Please have a look at this template to get started.
+
+This page gives an overview of the concepts you need to understand in order to develop packages.
+
+## Package Structure
+
+Use the [package-template](https://github.com/eccenca/cmem-package-template) to create the boilerplate for a package repository.
+
+### License
+
+!!! info "No publication without license"
+
+ Packages without a license declaration cannot be published to a Corporate Memory Marketplace Server.
+
+Our template will bootstrap with an _Apache License 2.0 ([`Apache-2.0`](https://spdx.org/licenses/Apache-2.0.html))_. See if you need a different license.
+You can remove a license entirely; however, a package that does not declare a license cannot be published.
+
+### Manifest
+
+The `manifest.json` is the central package definition.
+It contains all relevant package metadata and describes the package contents.
+It is used to present package details and contents to the `inspect` command, to install, configure and uninstall all parts of a package.
+
+#### Metadata
+
+`package_type`
+: `project`
+ : A package that may ship any content, mainly intended to contain Build projects, (instance/data) graphs, SHACL shapes, workspace configuration, query catalogs, etc.
+
+ `vocabulary`
+ : A package that is supposed to contribute vocabulary / ontology contents, such as `rdf:`, `org:`, `sso:`, etc. Such a package may contain multiple vocabularies / ontologies. Packaging related SHACL shapes is reasonable, too.
+
+`package_id`
+: Unique package identifier
+
+`package_version`
+: Semantic version identifier string of the package, but limited to proper releases.
+
+`metadata.name`
+: The package name in English.
+
+`metadata.description`
+: The package description in English.
+
+`metadata_comment`
+: A maintainer or publisher comment.
+
+#### Files
+
+A package can contain graphs or Build projects. These contents are referenced in the `manifest.json`.
+
+##### Graphs
+
+Use the following structure to include a graph.
+`register_as_vocabulary` and `import_into` are optional instructions.
+We suggest to organize graphs in a respective sub-folder (here `graphs/`), but this is up to you:
+
+```json
+"files": [
+ …
+ {
+ "file_type": "graph",
+ "file_path": "graphs/file.ttl",
+ "graph_iri": "http://www.example.org/file/",
+ "register_as_vocabulary": true,
+ "import_into": [
+ "http://www.example.org/integration_graph/"
+ ]
+ },
+ …
+]
+```
+
+##### Projects
+
+Use the following structure to include a project.
+We suggest to organize projects in a respective sub-folder (here `projects/`), but this is up to you:
+
+```json
+"files": [
+ …
+ {
+ "file_type": "project",
+ "file_path": "projects/my-build-project.zip",
+ "project_id": "my-build-project"
+ },
+ …
+]
+```
+
+#### Dependencies
+
+Dependencies to other (vocabulary) packages or to Python plugins can be declared in the `copier copy` answers.
+The dependencies are added to the `manifest.json` as described in the next sections.
+
+##### Python Plugin Packages
+
+Use the following to declare a dependency to a Python plugin:
+
+```json
+"dependencies": [
+ …
+ {
+ "dependency_type": "python-package",
+ "pypi_id": "cmem-plugin-pyshacl"
+ },
+ …
+]
+```
+
+##### (Vocabulary) Packages
+
+Use the following to declare a dependency to a (vocabulary) package:
+
+```json
+"dependencies": [
+ …
+ {
+ "dependency_type": "vocabulary",
+ "package_id": "w3c-rdfs-vocab"
+ }
+ …
+]
+```
+
+## Package Development Cycle
+
+!!! info "`cmemc package` reference"
+
+ Refer to [TODO: link](./) for the complete reference of the `package` command group.
+
+Some packages are simply wrapping existing artifacts into a managed structure (e.g. existing vocabulary/ontology).
+
+Most (solution) package development and evolution will be a back and forth between a package repository (making changes to `manifest.json` in terms of adding/removing dependencies, graph files, or Build project files) and a Corporate Memory (package development) instance.
+
+The following pages give an overview about this feature:
+
+{ width="50%" }
+
+### Install (local) Packages
+
+Use the following command to install a local package folder content (or built `.cpa` file) to a Corporate Memory (package development) instance.
+
+```sh
+cmemc package install --input PATH
+```
+
+Make changes to graphs, configuration, or Build projects as needed.
+Newly created or imported graphs or Build projects need to be registered in `manifest.json` so they will be fetched by `export`.
+
+### Export Contents into a Package
+
+Use the following command to export the file artifacts declared in `manifest.json` from a Corporate Memory (package development) instance to a local package folder.
+
+```sh
+cmemc package export PACKAGE_ID
+```
+
+Run this to initially populate package contents from a solution configuration. You can also use it to update contents after making changes on your Corporate Memory (package development) instance, capturing them for building and releasing as a Marketplace Package.
+
+### Inspect Packages
+
+Review and verify the contents of a package with the following command:
+
+```sh
+cmemc package inspect PACKAGE_PATH
+```
+
+### Build Packages
+
+During development you can install a package from a local path (plain folder or a `.cpa` package) using the `cmemc package install --input PATH` command.
+
+Use the `cmemc package build` command.
+This will build a package archive from a package directory.
+
+This command processes a package directory, validates its content including the manifest, and creates a versioned Corporate Memory package archive (`.cpa`) with the following naming convention: `{package_id}-v{version}.cpa`.
+
+### Publish Packages
+
+Package archives can be published to the Marketplace Server using the `cmemc package publish` command.
+After being published packages can be found and installed directly from the Marketplace Server (potential users do not need to have the local package folder or `.cpa` file available).

+# Marketplace Packages
+
+Starting with version 26.1, we support the creation and use of Marketplace Packages.
+
+Marketplace Packages bundle everything for a specific Corporate Memory–based solution or project into a single shareable, managed artifact:
+
+- Vocabularies / Ontologies
+- (SKOS) Taxonomies
+- (Instance / Data) Graphs
+- Build Projects
+- Dependencies on
+ - [python-plugins](../python-plugins/index.md)
+ - (other) Marketplace Packages
+
+The lifecycle of a Corporate Memory Marketplace Package is shown in the following flowchart.

+# Installation and Management of Marketplace Packages
+
+## Introduction
+
+Marketplace Packages can be installed directly from a Corporate Memory Marketplace Server or from local package archives (`.cpa` files).
+
+This page describes how to install, list, and uninstall packages using `cmemc`.
+
+!!! info "`cmemc package` reference"
+
+ Refer to [TODO: link](./) for the complete reference of the `package` command group.
+
+## Install Packages
+
+Use the following command to install a package from a Marketplace Server:
+
+```sh
+cmemc package install PACKAGE_ID
+```
+
+For installing local package archives (`.cpa` files) or package directories, use the `--input` option:
+
+```sh
+cmemc package install --input PATH
+```
+
+## List Packages
+
+Use the following command to list all installed packages:
+
+```sh
+cmemc package list
+```
+
+## Uninstall Packages
+
+Use the following command to uninstall a package:
+
+```sh
+cmemc package uninstall PACKAGE_ID
+```
+
+This removes all package contents from the Corporate Memory instance, including graphs and Build projects that were installed as part of the package.
