The document discusses open source content management systems. It begins with an overview of key topics like web content, content formats, content management systems (CMS), enterprise content management (ECM), and web content management systems (WCMS). It then provides details on various CMS software, both open source and free/open source options. Examples of popular CMS like Drupal, Joomla, WordPress and others are listed along with their licensing and technical requirements. The document concludes that open source CMS offer a variety of capabilities and provide flexible technical architectures using common components like web servers, programming languages and databases.

3. Web Content
Content broadly as 'the stuff in the Web site.'
This may include documents, data, applications,
e-services, images, audio and video files, personal
Web pages, archived e-mail messages, and more.
And include future stuff as well as present stuff.quot;

4. Content: Formats
Text (HTML, ASCII)

Binary objects (software)

Graphics

Images

WYSIWYG documents

PDF

Multimedia presentations

Digital audio, video

More bandwidth – more media rich content


5. The CM Process
The digital content lifecycle: create, update,

publish, translate, archive, and retire.
CM is a collaborative effort and it consists of

basic roles and responsibilities.
(www.wikipedia.org)

6. What is a CMS
A Content Management System (CMS) is a

computer application used to create, edit,
manage, search and publish various kinds of
digital media and electronic text.
CMSs are frequently used for storing,

controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-
specific documentation such as news articles,
operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales
guides, and marketing brochures.

7. What is a CMS Cont..
CMS is a web application designed to make it

easy for non-technical users to add, edit and, well,
manage a website.
 Not only do CMS help website users with content
editing, they also take care of a lot of quot;behind the
scenesquot; work such as:
Automatically generate navigation elements

Making content searchable and indexable

Keeping track of users, their permissions

and security settings
And much, much more.

 Examples of CMS software: Movable Type,
Drupal, SocialText, Interwoven, etc…

8. Definition of Web CMS
A CMS is an automated system used to manage the

content of a web site.
Typically, a CMS consists of two elements:

 the content management application (CMA) and
 the content delivery application (CDA).
The CMA element allows non-technical content

managers or authors to manage the creation,
modification, and removal of content from a web site.
The CDA element uses and compiles that information to

update (publish to) the web site. They can either
produce static web pages, or can be dynamic—where
content is pulled together on the fly when a user requests
a page.
The features of a CMS system vary, but most include

web-based publishing, format management, revision
control, and indexing, search, and retrieval.

9. Features of a CMS
Automated templates: Create standard output templates in
HTML that can be automatically applied to new and existing
content, allowing the appearance of all that content to be
changed from one central place
Editable content: Once content is separated from the visual
presentation of a site, it usually becomes much easier to edit and
manipulate
Workflow management: A content creator can submit a story,
but it is not published till approval and editing are done by the
necessary authorities
Document management: Managing the life cycle of a document
from initial creation time, publication, and archive and
document destruction
Identification: of all key users and their content management
roles, as well as the ability to assign roles and responsibilities to
different content categories or types

10. Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
According to AIIM
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is
comprised of the technologies used to capture,
manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and
documents related to organizational processes.
ECM tools and strategies allow the management of
an organization’s unstructured information,
wherever that information exists.

13. What is a WCMS
Wikipedia
“A Web Content Management System (WCMS or
Web CMS) is CMS software, usually implemented
as a Web application, for creating and managing
HTML content. It is used to manage and control a
large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML
documents and their associated images). A WCMS
facilitates content creation, content control, editing,
and many essential Web maintenance functions.”

14. “Unlike Web-site builders like Microsoft
FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver, a WCMS
allows non-technical users to make changes to an
existing website with little or no training. A WCMS
typically requires an experienced coder to set up
and add features, but is primarily a Web-site
maintenance tool for non-technical
administrators.”

15. WCM
Modern web site implementations are architected with
two distinct sets of capabilities – creation and
maintenance of the content and delivery of the content
to the target audiences. Creation and maintenance of
web content is called Web Content Management
(WCM) and is a relatively new discipline in the history
of web technology.

16. WCMS Features
Automated templates

Scalable feature sets

Web standards upgrades

Workflow management

Document management

Content virtualization

17. Types of Web Content Management
a. Offline processing

b. Online processing

c. Hybrid Systems


18. The strategy of Web Content
Management
Identifying content requirements

Creating consistently structured content for

reuse
Managing content in a definitive source

Ensuring content complies with corporate and

government standards and guidelines
Assembling content on demand to meet your

customers' needs

24. Conclusion
• It has many facets including enterprise content
management, WCM, content syndication and digital or
media asset management.
A CCM system is concerned with the content within
documents.
It can locate and link content at any level of
organization, and it is used to build publications out of
re-usable fragments of content.
A brief summary of content management tools
distributed under open software licenses shows the
existence of a large number of these offering a variety of
capabilities and orientations.
It also summarizes, their technical architecture based on
the triad made up of web server, programming language
interpreter and database manager.
