CMS is the abbreviation of Content Management System, meaning "Content Management System".
CMS has many template-based excellent design that speeds up the speed of the website and reduces the cost of development.
The function of CMS is not limited to text processing, which can also handle pictures, flash animations, sound streams, images, and even email files.
CMS also divides each platform script type.
The content management system is a new favorite of corporate information construction and e-government. It is also a relatively new market. For content management, there is no unified definition in the industry, and different institutions have different understandings:
Gartner Group believes that content management should include internal content management, web content management, e-commerce transaction content management, and enterprise external network (such as CRM, SCM, etc.), Web content management is current focus. E-Business and XML are the source of promoting content management development.
Merrill Lynch analysts believe that content management focuses on corporate employees, corporate users, partners, and suppliers to access non-structured information. The purpose of content management is to publish unstructured information to intranets, Extranets, and ITE (Internet Trading Exchanges) to enable users to retrieve, use, analyze, and share. Business Intelligence System (BI) focuses on the value extraction of structured data, and content management focuses on the strategic value extraction of internal and unstructured resources in the enterprise.
Giga Group believes as an e-commerce engine, content management solutions must be closely integrated with e-commerce servers, resulting in a production production, delivery (Delivery), and e-commerce terminals.
We believe that the content management system is a software system between the web front end (web server) and the backend office system or process (content creation, editing). The content management solution focuses on the acquisition, management, utilization, delivery, and value added of various non-structural or semi-structured digital resources, and can be organically integrated into the commercial intelligence environment of structured data, such as OA, CRM, etc. The content of the content of the content, the editor, the publisher use the content management system to submit, modify, approval, and release content. "Content" here may include files, tables, pictures, data or even videos in the database, etc. You want to post information for Internet, intranet, and Extranet website.
How does CMS are lucky?
With the rich and development of network applications, many websites often can not quickly follow up with a large number of information derivatives and business model changes, often need to spend a lot of time, humanity and material to deal with information update and maintenance; encountering website expansion, The work integrated into internal and external networks and branch websites has become more complex, and even re-building websites; so, users are always upgraded, integrated in a high-cost, low efficiency cycle ...
So, we have heard a number of users feedback:
Page production is disorderless, website style is not uniform, a large amount of information is stacked, and the release is abnormal;
The content is complicated, and the handmade management efficiency is low, and the manual link video and audio information often cannot be implemented;
The application is high, and many work requires technical staff to work, and the role division is not clear;
The revised workload is large, the system extension ability is poor, and the integrated additional application is reduced flexibility;
For website construction and information publishers, the ease of use of the system is most concerned about the perfectness of the ease and function, so this has a high requirement for website construction and information publishing tools.
First, the character positioning is clear to fully guarantee the work efficiency of the staff; second, the function is complete, meet the application of the "people" application to the information, so that the information is accurate. For example, set permissions and real-time management functions for editing, art, editor, and operators. In addition, the security of the website architecture is also the focus of users' attention. Can effectively manage the login privileges of the website visitors, so that the intranet database is not attacked, and the security and stability of the website will be guaranteed to avoid the worries of the user.
According to the above requirements, a professional content management system CMS is born to effectively solve the problem and needs of user websites and information releases in the information release. The content management of the website is the biggest advantage of the software. Its process is perfect, rich in functionality, can divide the manuscript, and authorize the legal user editor management, without the need for the user to understand the unknown SQL syntax.
How is CMS development?
Content management has become an important application area in 2000. At this time, the .com and B2B, B2C have experienced capital and market tests and baptism, and people returned to the fundamentals of information technology applications - how to improve competitiveness, and content Management is appropriately capable of generating, management, value-added and reuse, improving the operational efficiency of the organization and the competitiveness of the organization, and enterprises and institutions have begun to recognize the importance of content management.
From the viewpoint of informationization of enterprises and institutions, the following factors lead to huge demand for content management software:
(1) Knowledge is the wealth of the company. In the internet interaction process, only one tenth involve sales, other nine-nine books related to information interaction, employees' knowledge acquisition is increasingly relying on the Internet, especially in the individualized environment of e-commerce, customers in order to do Purchase decisions, need intelligent acquisition information, not only the quantity and price of goods, but more importantly, the product manual, security assurance, technical indicators, after-sales service, picture file, etc.
(2) Timelyness and accuracy of information. Whether in the enterprise network or the external network, the update of information is getting faster, the information volume of enterprises and institutions has increasingly produced, and the trend of demultiplexing, the enterprises and institutions need a powerful, scalable , Flexible content management technology to meet constant information updates, maintenance, how to ensure accuracy and authenticity of information will be more and more important.
(3) The demand growth in the uniform network of enterprises. With the construction of enterprises and institutions, the information interaction between intranets and outer networks is increasing, and the excellent content management system has a good information collection and reuse and information on the company. Value-added use, for the out of the Internet, more important is true interactive and collaborative content.
Main manufacturers engaged in content management software, including Vignette, Interwoven, BroadVision, OpenMarket, ATG, Allaire, Documentum, Hummingbird, etc. These company CM products and solutions are very professional, mostly J2EE and other platforms, rich in function, mainly Enterprise users are the main manufacturers of the CM market. There are also some narrower professional manufacturers to provide content management features that need to be needed. If Verity provides knowledge retrieval, MicroMedia provides content creation platform, Akamai and Inkitomi provide content distribution management technology. In contrast, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and other companies provide universal platform-based CM solutions. But there is still a lot of imperfect places in the CM market, including:
It is difficult to find a CMS to meet all the needs of users in this new market.
Some CMS is just a simple information publishing tool, which is not a group of website construction tool software that is not intended to collect and reuse more about the concept of knowledge management.
The visual links of all products are very poor, only very few vendors can provide visual software, which are not interactive and cannot be used as a management tool. What can CMS may include?
The basic idea hidden after the Content Management System (CMS) is the management and design of the separation. The page design is stored in the template and is stored in a database or separate file. When a user requests a page, each part is jointly generating a standard HTML page.
A content management system usually has the following elements:
Document template
Scripting language or tag language
Integrate with database
The contents of the content are controlled by the special tag of the in-in-line page. These tags are usually unique for a content management system. These systems typically have language support for more complex operations, such as Python, Perl, or Java.
The content management system is beneficial to site management and creation editing. The biggest benefit of this is to use templates and universal design elements to ensure coordination of the entire website. The author only needs to use a small amount of template code in their documentation, then you can concentrate on the content above the design. To change the appearance of the website, administrators simply modify the template instead of a separate page.
The content management system also simplifies the responsibility of the content supply and content management of the website. Many content management systems allow different levels of access to different levels of visits to different levels of websites, which make them do not have to study the permission settings of the operating system level, just use the browser interface to complete.
Other features such as search engine, calendar, web mail, etc., will also be built into the content management system CMS, or allow in the form of a third-party plug-in.
How to develop CMS
The content management system is a very broad concept: both from the news system from the commercial portal to the personal WebLog can be called a release system.
Frame type: itself does not contain any application implementation, just provide the underlying framework, specific applications require a certain secondary development, such as Cocoon, Vignette;
Application type: itself is an application implementation for specific types, which already contains news / comment management, voting, forum, Wiki and other subsystems. For example: postnuke XOOPS, etc .;
But in any case, before publishing system selection, first understanding your actual needs: I want to move my demand in accordance with ready-made systems. Visits, permission control, and various functional needs. Every module and function are more clear, then go online to find a similar implementation: You will find that every one has a mature implementation, and it is still improving and developing, if not : Your needs are too special, or you can try to break down into smaller system combination implementation.
The content management system is separated into the following levels: the demand for each level is preferred.
1. Background business subsystem management (management priority: content management): News entry system, BBS Forum system, full-text inspection subsystem, etc., the content of the convenient manager for different systems: the editor management interface you have obtained, etc. , Clear business logic: permission control mechanism of each subsystem, etc .;
2, Portal system (performance priority: Template management): Most final output pages: Home, child channel / topic page, news details page is generally a variety of combinations of various rear subsystem modules, this distribution combination logic is Very rich, Portal system is responsible for the combination of these rear subsystems;
3, front desk release (efficiency priority: release management): Publishing for end users, and URL design of search engine spider, etc. ...
Separation of content management and performance: Many complete sets of CMS systems are not separated from various subsystems and portal in the background, so that the content management logic of the PORTAL layer is mixed together, even and BBS, etc. The management of subsystems is very high, and the whole system will be very intebriring. Moreover, the comparison of each subsystem of each subsystem is difficult, and if the module in the background is difficult to change. However, if the sessile content management logic of the background, the performance / release of the front desk, the PORTAL and the background are only the relationship between the data transfer: Portal only decides to pay and perform the hits and performance of each subsystem data in the background, and the background Each subsystem is also very easy to swap. Separation of content management and data distribution: Take Cache Friendly Sex Design: CACHE Friendly Sexual Design: CMS Background Management and Publishing Mechanism, it should not take too much "efficiency" problem, as long as the final page output design Cacheable, efficiency issues can be solved by a more special cache server.
In addition, in addition to facing the final browser user, pay attention to the URL design of search engine friendly (Search Engine Friendly): Turn through the URL REWRITE steering or PATH_INFO-based parameter analysis makes dynamic web pages in the link (URI) form more like static Directory structure, convenient website content is included in the search engine;
