Content Management Systems
(Wikipedia)
- A content management system (CMS) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion.
- CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures.
- The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and Web content.
