1: Content Repository vs. CMS
Posted by Matthew Soldo on 11/02/01 01:01 AM
I've been playing around wiht OACS-4 for the past few days. Overall
I'm very impressed. However one thing that has me confused in the
distinction betwen the content repository and the content management
system. What are the differences between these two modules, what are
they designed to be used for, and how do they interact with one
another?

Thanks

Content-Repository is a general package that provides services. CMS is an application built on top of the content-repository. Basically it is a user-interface to the content stored in the content-repository.

Another application that is built on top of the content-repository is Edit-This-Page which offers a straightforward interface to storing content.

Add to that list of content repository clients news, glossary and photo-album.
