Build the content authoring system

Before we can start adding content to the web content system, create all the items that will be used to manage and deliver the web content.

1. Based on the design architecture defined in the project design document, the web content developer creates plug-ins and JSP code in preparation for the creation of the content authoring system.
   • The web content developer
   • Design architecture
   • Developing

2. Based on the information architecture defined in the project design document, the website creator does the following:
   1. Creates site areas.
   2. Creates taxonomies and categories.
   • The website creator
   • Information architecture
   • Profiling strategies

3. Based on the content authoring architecture defined in the project design document, the website creator does the following:

   1. Creates workflow actions, stages, and defines workflows.
   2. Creates authoring templates.
   • The website creator
   • Authoring architecture

4. Based on the design architecture defined in the project design document, the website creator does the following:
   1. Creates components.
   2. Creates presentation templates.
   • The website creator
   • Design architecture
   • Create components
   • Create a presentation template

5. Based on the information architecture defined in the project design document, the website creator edits site areas and defines template maps.
   • The website creator

   • Template maps

6. If required, the web content developer also creates a custom content authoring interface based on the content authoring architecture defined in the project design document.
   • The web content developer
