Content Management System
A Content Management System, also known as a CMS, allows a website owner/operator to add, update, and delete blocks of information, or even entire pages, from a website. A CMS can come in many sizes and vary greatly in complexity. A CMS may range from being as simple as allowing a website owner to add a paragraph to the homepage, or as complicated as allowing articles to flow from writers, to editors, to publishers, to publication while enforcing departmental and corporate policies and maintaining a complete audit chain for the entire lifecycle of the article. Generally, most websites require a CMS that would allow them to modify blocks of information on some pages (including dynamic pages) and be able to add, update, and delete pages from a collection of pages that constitute an openly structured knowledge base of some sort.
