Content acquisition architecture

The content acquisition architecture is used to define what existing content will be imported into the web content system, how it will be imported, and what content will need to be created.

The content acquisition architecture is based on the content inventory that was collected during the analysis phase of the project. For each piece of content identified in the content inventory we define the following information:

• Will this content be imported into the web content system, or will it be created afresh.

• If the content is to be imported, what tool will be used. For example, WebDav or the Web Content Integrator.

Additionally, the type of items being created need to be identified. For example:

• Reusable pieces of content are best created as components

• Web page specific content is best created as a content item

• Content specific to a particular section of a website is best saved within a site area
