An overview of Web Content Management

Use Web Content Management to create Web sites, build Web content authoring systems, author Web content, access Web content from external systems, manage Web content and deliver Web content.


Web site creation

In a Web Content Management solution, the layout and design elements of a Web site are managed separately from the content of a Web site. This allows you to change the layout and design of a Web page without changing the content, and change the content without having to update the layout and design. Many design features of your Web site, such as navigation, are generated automatically by using predefined elements and components.


Web content authoring

One of the primary uses of Web Content Management is to build a Web content authoring system for your Web content creators.

In a Web Content Management system, the design and layout of your Web site are separated from the content displayed within a Web site. This allows Web content authors to create the content for your site without having to understand how to build a Web site. The Web content authoring system you create will be designed to delivery a Web content authoring user interface to your Web content authors.


Accessing external content

The Web content used in a Web Content Management can also be stored and managed in external content management systems.

The Web Content Integrator is used to import content into a Web Content Management system using the RSS feed format. Content from federated content systems can be linked directly into a Web Content Management system. You can also use WebDAV to import content from a file system into a Web Content Management system.


Manage Web content

Web Content Management includes a set of features to help you maintain and manage your Web content system.

This includes version control and workflows.


Preinstalled Web content libraries

A set of preinstalled Web content libraries are supplied to allow you to add blog and wiki features to your Web sites. Use blogs, blog libraries, and wikis to tap into the power of the community and to change the way you work.


Delivering Web content

Web content can be delivered to your Web site viewers using Web Content Viewer portlets, a servlet or as pre-rendered HTML files.
