Primary Key: Link Library
Organizations are being bombarded with information from a plethora of sources both internally and externally generated, from intranets, extranets and the Web, in multiple data types and in formats so varied they boggle the brain: text, HTML, XML, images, e-mail, audio, video. This onslaught has spawned a new phrase, content management, which attempts to bring order and value to the information, and to smooth the path to e-business and e-commerce. Here is just a sampling of some of the "content management companies that have captured KMWorld’s attention recently.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Type: Article

Primary Key: Article
The ultimate goal of CM is to permit organizations to achieve strategic goals. As with any technology process, the tool has value only to the degree that it enables (not dominates) achievement of larger corporate missions. This list details some major value points for CM:

* Repurpose content for use in various formats - web page, documents, etc
* Reduce costs associated with maintenance of content/web sites
* Reduce costs associated with searching for content (or duplication of content creation)
* Access - findability (and its implications - info when needed, avoiding duplication)
* Meet info needs of organization - when, where, how
* Relevant - content is current and meets needs of users
* Organized - content can be easily located due to an imposed organizational structure at the time of publishing
* Customized - delivering info in a manner and format required by the person for the task
* Increased responsiveness to trends, markets, etc. (and every else that comes from knowing where things are)
* Quality control (via automated workflow process)
* Collaboration and "spiraling" knowledge as contributors build on each others' work
* Permits non-technical staff to enter and publish content into a system

The original learning management systems (LMS) were developed to automate the administration of learning. They served as strategic planning and management systems for organizations' education efforts. While an LMS could help with managing and acquiring e-learning content, its use did not mean an organization was implementing an actual e-learning initiative because an LMS can be used to manage classroom training and materials.

Systems with the ability to design, create, deliver and measure e-learning initiatives have come to be known as learning content management systems (LCMS). Most of the new LCMS offerings have the ability to support reusable learning objects, and a standard known as Sharable Courseware Object Reference Model (SCORM) has been developed to enable Web-based learning systems to import, share and re-use learning objects. For some, the terms LMS and LCMS and their definitions are interchangeable. Others find neither acronym entirely appropriate. That's why the introduction of technical standards like SCORM will be welcome in the e-learning community.

"I think what you saw in the market is they started to merge together," said Macromedia's Lynch. "We see a need for content and collaboration coming together."

Regardless of what you call the software you use to manage them, Lynch said there are three broad categories of learning content based on the urgency of the information that needs to be learned: a) develop skills and competencies; b) critical knowledge transfer; and c) information broadcast. Critical knowledge transfer and information broadcasts involve rapid e-learning, which needs they are high-volume applications and need some type of content management to facilitate their use, according to Lynch.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT MADE EASY WITH ASP

Type: Tutorial

Primary Key: Tutorial
So what is content management and how will it help you? When you start to develop content on a site, unless you want to be bogged down forever with HTML trivialities or resource sharing, you want to make it as painless and easy as possible. You need a system that will eliminate the grunt work and let you focus on actual content. You need a system that will allow writers to easily submit articles, one that will let you proof and publish the articles, all without having to write a bunch of HTML. Enter automated content management.

Imagine a simple news site that two different writers update twice a day. Without any content management system, the writers would have to download the source code for the current page, add their news, re-upload the page, and then let the other writer know the page is updated so they won't overwrite the changes.

CREATING AND DELIVERING CONTENT AND APPLICATIONS

Type: Article

Primary Key: Article
You've got a problem: You need to manage and personalize content.

Here's the background: Your organization publishes content as part of your core mission. You have a publishing process for creating, editing, approving, and ultimately shipping content to some public or private Web site. The challenge about this content? You've got a lot of customers, thousands, in fact, and not all of them are interested, or maybe entitled to, all your content. Therefore, you need to personalize that content for security and/or usability. So you begin the search for a solution.

Naturally, you went out to the marketplace and looked at content management system (CMS) offerings. You researched the publishing stuff, bought a solution, and implemented it. You found out that the package was great at the publishing part the business process, the workflow; letting one group of people create and giving authority to other groups to edit or approve. Your CMS vendor told you that they could handle your personalization. Then you found out through trial and error and frustrating experience that they really don't. In fact, odds are you have to program it from scratch. Or maybe they told you that their professional services team would be happy to do it for a fee.

Perhaps, instead, you bought a portal package. You found that it's great at letting you define the communities and constituencies that consume this content, plus you get the added benefit of being able to present reports and data dashboards, if you will from other systems around that content. It lets you secure and personalize the user experience for this content. However, the problem is that the tools to create the content are limited to publishing that content in the portal. What about your public Web site? What about your print materials? Your global content inventory goes far beyond the portal, but the portal's built-in tools don't really allow you to create content for those repositories.

DRUPAL

Type: Tool

Primary Key: Tool
A dynamic web site platform which allows an individual or community of users to publish, manage and organize a variety of content, Drupal integrates many popular features of content management systems, weblogs, collaborative tools and discussion-based community software into one easy-to-use package.

As an open source software project maintained and developed by a community, Drupal is free to download and use. If you like what you learn here, please work with us to expand and refine Drupal to suit your needs.

A wide range of site configurations
By enabling and configuring individual modules, an administrator can design a unique site, one which can be used for a combination of knowledge management, web publishing and community interaction purposes. So that you can better understand the many possibilities, the following list of features have been organized by common web platform characteristics:
* Content management. Via a simple, browser-based interface, members can publish to a number of available content modules: stories, blogs, polls, images, forums, downloads, etc. Administrators can choose from multiple theme templates or create their own to give the site a singular look and feel. The flexible classification system allows hierarchical classifications, cross-indexing of posts and multiple category sets for most content types. Access to content is controlled through administrator-defined user permission roles. Site pages can display posts by module type or categorized content, with separate RSS feeds available for each display type. Users can also keyword search the entire site.
* Weblog. A single installation can be configured as an individual personal weblog site or multiple individual weblogs. Drupal supports the Blogger API, provides RSS feeds for each individual blog and can be set to ping weblog directories such as blo.gs and weblogs.com when new content is posted on the home page.
* Discussion-based community. A Drupal site can act as a Slashdot-like news site and/or make use of a traditional discussion forum. Comment boards, attached to most content types, make it simple for members to discuss new posts. Administrators can control whether content and comments are posted without approval, with administrator approval or through community moderation. With the built-in news aggregator, communites can subscribe to and then discuss content from other sites.
* Collaboration. Used for managing the construction of Drupal, the project module is suitable for supporting other open source software projects. The wiki-like collaborative book module includes versioning control, making it simple for a group to create, revise and maintain documentation or any other type of text.

The Drupal core platform, additional plug-in modules, and many theme templates are freely available for download under the GNU GPL. Drupal, written in PHP and using either MySQL, PostgreSQL or mSQL as the database backend, can run on many platforms, including Apache or Microsoft IIS web servers.

INTRANET OPEN SOURCE

Type: Tool

Primary Key: Tool
digger solutions intranet open source is an Active Server Pages (ASP) intranet that began life as an intranet that we developed for a previous employer. the application grew and grew and grew. at some point we realized that it was not fair to keep this great thing to ourselves, but it just was not in shape for public consumption. so we tore it apart and rebuilt it from scratch to be a good reliable piece of software and now we feel that others can benefit from its use as well. during the rebuild we got rid of much of the fluff and added a few additional features here and there and we are now ready to give it to the world.

the end result: digger solutions intranet open source. it is an Active Server Pages (ASP) intranet that developed from a place to keep track of hours for projects to a little application that could be the only thing a small to medium sized business would need for internal communications (besides email, of course). in addition to the client, project, task, timecard entry and reporting it also includes news, a calendar, a document repository, employee directory, discussion forum, surveys, and much more! it is fully customizable, very easy to setup, and completely functional right out of the box.

IS IT DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT OR CONTENT MANAGEMENT?

Type: Article

Primary Key: Article
Document management is certainly the older discipline, born out of the need to manage huge numbers of documents in organisations.

Mature and well-tested, document management systems can be characterised as follows:
* focused on managing documents, in the traditional sense (like Word files)
* each unit of information (document) is fairly large, and self-contained
* there are few (if any) links between documents
* provides limited integration with repository (check-in, check-out, etc)
* focused primarily on storage and archiving
* includes powerful workflow
* targeted at storing and presenting documents in their native format
* limited web publishing engine typically produces one page for each document

Content management systems (CMS) Content management is more recent, and is primarily designed to meet the growing needs of the website and intranet markets.

A content management system can be summarised as follows:

* manages small, interconnected units of information (eg. web pages)

* each unit (page) is defined by its location on the site

* extensive cross-linking between pages

* focused primarily on page creation and editing

* provides tight integration between authoring and the repository (metadata, etc)

* provides a very powerful publishing engine (templates, scripting, etc)

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USABILITY

Type: Article

Primary Key: Article
The rollout of a content management system (CMS) has the potential to impact on more users than any other system since e-mail. More crucially, the success of a CMS depends entirely on how much it is used, whether it is authors creating content, or users accessing the published site. It is these two challenges that place usability as a central issue to be raised and addressed.

Benefits of usability
- deployment is simpler and quicker
- training needs are reduced
- resistance to change is lessened
- content is more frequently updated
- ability to conduct in-house maintenance and management
- reduces cost of ownership
- published site is used more frequently, and more successfully.

How to ensure a usable CMS
- Involve all stakeholders in the CMS project, to identify their issues and needs.
- Include usability as a criteria in the CMS tender, to be demonstrated by the vendor.
- Rigorously assess the usability of the potential solutions, including the quality of training materials and documentation.
- Design and implement the CMS with usability principles (and simplicity) in mind.
- Use light-weight usability testing for all aspects of the CMS, and the published pages.
- Include an interface designer, or usability specialist, in the CMS team.

TYPO3

Type: Product

Primary Key: Product
So what is Content Management? A Content Management System (CMS) is software, usually a database application, that will make it easy to create and maintain websites and manage all publishing formats associated with the World Wide Web.

Separation of content, structure and design. The division of these "dimensions" of any website bring about many decisive advantages throughout the lifecycle of a website - and, in fact, even beyond that. First, the design can be created, extended or even completely relaunched, without having to extract and reinsert, let alone recreate the previously existing content.

WHEN CONTENT AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT COLLIDE

Type: Article

Primary Key: Article
Organizations tend to look at content management as content that's good enough for outside folks, while they refer to knowledge management as the sharing of knowledge primarily by inside folks. We think the time is ripe for a collision. A blend of content management systems and knowledge management tactics may provide just the combination a company needs. By examining the following points of overlap between content management and knowledge management, companies can leverage that overlap to boost immediate ROI.

Title Description
A complete architectural specification of an information technology (IT) system includes information about how it is partitioned and how the parts are interrelated. It also contains information about what it should do and the purpose it must serve in the business. This paper provides a set of business concepts that partition the world of business meaning. It discusses the purpose of such an architectural view of business and ways in which it can be used. A set of generic concepts and their interrelationships organize business information content in terms of requirements on the business, the boundary of the business, and the business as a system for delivery of value. Methods are introduced to explore variations on the basic business concept patterns. These concepts are positioned to describe IT systems that support the business, and they are used to manage the work of IT system development and deployment.

Whether you need to add new content, remove pages, upload images, or change the formatting, the software lets you do it quickly and without unnecessary mistakes.

Cobent AON - Cobent AON is a fully functional website content management system designed to help you keep your website up to date. Managing your website using AON is simple - no technical expertise is needed.

So what do static Web pages do better than managed Web pages? Well, they initially cost less and go up quickly. Other than that, there are no real incentives to go this route. More often than not, though, these factors alone make up the argument against a content management system, not only by small to midsize businesses, but surprisingly also by Fortune companies.

So how do you convince a company that no matter how small its Web presence it should consider some sort of content management system? It's easy. Just ask management one question: What would happen if the Web master were struck by lighting tomorrow? All kidding aside, it brings up an important point. Having one all-knowing "key master" for your company's Internet, intranet, and extranet is probably not a good business practice. It's like having only one key to the office and everyone having to depend on one person for access. What happens if he's late or, worse yet, doesn't show up at all?

TWIKI

Type: Tool

Primary Key: Tool
Welcome to TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use Web-based collaboration platform. Use TWiki to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API.

"TWiki is powerful" said Jon Udell, a BYTE.com editor. "Among other things, TWiki eases one of the concerns about classic Wiki, which is that the radically egalitarian "edit this page" scheme leaves no change log. TWiki includes powerful revision support. Every change leaves a footprint, and you can follow these easily and effectively."

What does it look like?
TWiki looks and feels like a normal Intranet or Internet web site. However it also has a Edit link at the bottom of every topic (web page), everybody can change a topic or add content by just using a browser.

Who is using TWiki?
TWiki is installed on many web sites, mainly behind corporate firewalls. TWiki is being used by many major companies, because it is very user friendly compared to some well established commercial groupware systems like Lotus Notes. Read some TWikiSuccessStories to get an idea of how companies like Motorola (story) or SAP (story) are using the TWiki platform.

How is TWiki being deployed?
Companies are deploying TWiki in different ways, and TWiki is quite flexible to adapt to different needs. Here is a non comprehensive list of how TWiki is being used:
* To replace a static intranet. Content is maintained by the employees, thus eliminating the "one webmaster syndrome" of outdated and insufficient intranet content.
* As a knowledge base and FAQ system. The TWikiSuccessStoryOfTakeFive tells you more about that.
* To design and document software projects.
* To track issues (i.e. bugs) and features. TWiki itself is managed this way; more on that in TWiki.Codev.
* As a document management tool.
* To collaborate on common goals, i.e. the Helsinki Institute of Physics Technology Programme web portal.
* As a software archive, i.e. the TWiki Plugins archive.
* As a company internal message board, i.e. for job listings.

What are the Main Features of TWiki?
TWiki is a mature, full featured web based collaboration system:
* Any web browser: Edit existing pages or create new pages by using any web browser. There is no need for ftp or http put to upload pages.
* Edit link: To edit a page, simply click on the Edit link at the bottom of every page.
* Auto links: Web pages are linked automatically. You do not need to learn HTML commands to link pages.
* Text formatting: Simple, powerful and easy to learn text formatting rules. Basically you write text like you would write an e-mail.
* Webs: Pages are grouped into TWiki webs (or collections). This allows you to set up separate collaboration groups.
* Search: Full text search with/without regular expressions. See a sample search result.
* E-mail notification: Get automatically notified when something has changed in a TWiki web. Subscribe in WebNotify.
* Structured content: Use TWiki Forms to classify and categorize unstructured web pages and to create simple workflow systems.
* File attachments: Upload and download any file as an attachment to a page by using your browser. This is similar to file attachments in an e-mail, but it happens on web pages.
* Revision control: All changes to pages and attachments are tracked. Retrieve previous page revisions and differences thereof. Find out who changed what and when.
* Access control: Define groups and impose fine grained read and write access restrictions based on groups and users.
* Variables: Use variables to dynamically compose your pages. This allows you for example to dynamically build a table of contents: include other pages; or show a search result embedded in a page
