Content management system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A content management system (CMS)[1][2][3] is a computer application that suppor
ts the creation and modification of digital content using a common user interfac
e[4] and thus usually supporting multiple users working in a collaborative envir
onment.[5] CMSes have been available since the late 1990s.
CMS features vary widely. Most CMSes include Web-based publishing, format manage
ment, edit history and version control, indexing, search, and retrieval. By thei
r nature, content management systems support the separation of content and prese
ntation.
A web content management (WCM) system (or WCMS) is a CMS designed to support the
management of the content of Web pages. Most popular CMSes are also WCMSes. Web
content includes text and embedded graphics, photos, video, audio, and code (e.
g., for applications) that displays content or interacts with the user.
Such a content management system (CMS) typically has two major components:
A content management application (CMA) is the front-end user interface that allo
ws a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify and remove content from a
Web site without the intervention of a webmaster.
A content delivery application (CDA) compiles that information and updates the W
eb site.
Digital asset management systems are another type of CMS. They manage such thing
s as documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data. CMSes can also
be used for storing, controlling, revising, and publishing documentation.
