What is a Content Management System?
A content management system (CMS) is a program used to create a
framework for the content of a Web site. CMSes are deployed primarily
for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors. For
example, the software for the website Wikipedia is based on a wiki,
which is a particular type of content management system. As used in
this article, Content Management means Web Content Management. Other
related forms of content management are listed below.
The
content managed includes computer files, image media, audio files,
electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make
these files available inter-office, as well as over the web. A CMS
would most often be used as an archive as well. Many companies use a
CMS to store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies use a CMS to
share files with ease, as most systems use server-based software, even
further broadening file availability. As shown below, many CMSs include
a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a "workflow
process".
"Workflow" is the idea of moving an electronic
document along for either approval, or for adding content. Some CMSs
will easily facilitate this process with email notification, and
automated routing. This is ideally a collaborative creation of
documents. A CMS facilitates the organization, control, and publication
of a large body of documents and other content, such as images and
multimedia resources.
A Web content management system is a CMS
with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web
content to web sites.
