A library management add-on for managing Different online-offline FreeCAD components is a utility application for FreeCAD which allows an easy and structured management of components/models available online or offline and to easily be inserted into the FreeCAD document.
Its basic functionalities is to facilitate individual component from the online repository to be able to browsed, downloaded, and extended by already available local components.
For a Library management system, a robust repository of data and an local storage structure is must. This is important as user need to brows through the all the existing models which are the part of the repository and download only selective models. A structured local storage will not only also allow users to easily add their own models to the local library management system, but also to the online repository open to public. For maintaining the metadata of these, a well defined storage structure is required.
All this need to have an proper interface to be operable. The interface for the above will be developed as both a Graphical Interface and module for python scripting.
