3. Content Management System
The principles of Anymeta 1.
A Content Management System allows users without any technical
knowledge to contribute to a website and to share data.
- Community Management System
- User roles (view- and editright)

4. Content Management System
The principles of Anymeta 2.
“Anything is a thing”
Every item (article, event, picture) is structured with relations and
connections. This structure is created by using metadata.

5. Content Management System
The principles of Anymeta 3.
Metadata:
“Data providing information about one or more other pieces of data”
Because users and editors add metadata to their contributions, the
system ‘understands' their relation to other things.
All contributions will therefore appear in the right place and with
relevant context. This saves editors a lot of time. This automated
linking in Anymeta is called matching.
