Abstract:
In practice, content management systems are in widespread use for the management of web sites, to implement intranet solutions, for provisioning content to mobile applications, and for the publication of a range of documents created from diverse content. Such content is typically structured in a media agnostic way in order to support multi-channel publication. An emerging class of multimedia databases is digital asset management systems that specialize in the management of unstructured content. Despite the market for content management products aiming at integrated solutions that cover most content management aspects, there is a trend to augment content management systems with systems that offer dedicated functionality for specific content management tasks. In practice, there is particular interest in systems incorporating both a content management system and a digital asset management system. Both kinds of systems have a notion of content lifecycles and processes for their management. Therefore, particular attention has to be paid to the alignment of those across system boundaries. There are various ways of integrating content management systems to accomplish this. All integration forms exhibit individual strengths and weaknesses, achieved with differing implementation effort. The choice of the adequate integration architecture, therefore, depends on many factors and considerations that are discussed in this paper.
