In the digital realm, content includes any type of digital information that is used to populate a document, a document page, a web page, etc. The digital data can be text, images, graphics, video, sound etc. Content management systems (CMS) have been developed that provide the controls to effectively manage this digital content. Content management systems provides for the management of the content, by combining rules, process and/or workflows in such a way that decentralized authors/editors can create, edit, manage and publish all the content of a document or web pages.
The concept of content differs from that of a document. Prior to the development of content management systems, much effort was focused on document management systems (DMS) that provided companies with the ability to gain control over the ever increasing amount of information that they were producing using products like Word, Lotus123, Excel, etc. Companies recognized the need to internally organize documents such as word files, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations etc. The need to organize documents resulted in the development of DMS's.
