Content Management

What is Content Management?

A Content Management System is a database able to store files together with their metadata.

There are various specialized types of CMS, like the following:

• Web CMS, specialized on managing HTML content and media files and deliver the data to a browser as a web site.
• Document Management Systems (DMS), also a specialized category of CMS, focused on managing binary data of all types and often providing rich interfaces to other systems (ERP) and process automation functionality.
• Component CMS (CCMS), specialized on managing structured content in formats like DITA for technical documentation or similar purposes, and providing versioning, review, lifecycles, translation management and single-source publishing.
