IBM Web Content Integrator
The Web Content Integrator is a solution for integrating externally managed Web content with WebSphere Portal. Through the use of standard content syndication feed technologies based on RSS 2.0, the Web Content Integrator provides a loosely-coupled mechanism for transferring published content and metadata to the portal after they have been approved in the source system. Once the content and metadata have been transferred to the portal, it is possible to use the built-in content management features of WebSphere Portal to secure, personalize, and display the content to users.
To use the Web Content Integrator we have to:
- create a feed on the source system using the Web Content Integrator feed format specification.
- configure WebSphere Portal to consume the feed.
Feed format specification
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is an XML-based format that is widely used for syndicating content from sources such as Web sites and blogs to readers who have subscribed to the feeds. The input to the Web Content Integrator is a content feed which complies with the RSS 2.0 format. The core feed format is relatively simple, with only a limited number of elements that need to be specified for each item in the feed. However, the RSS 2.0 specification allows the base format to be extended using XML namespaces to support additional functionality. To enable a deeper level of control over how items are created in WCM, an RSS extension has been defined which contains elements that map to many of the attributes of the Web Content Manager object model.
