Content Management and the Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD)
The XML eCTD DTD (Document Type Definition) defines the overall structure of the submission. The purpose of the XML backbone is two-fold: (1) to manage meta-data for the entire submission and each document within the submission and (2) to constitute a comprehensive table of contents and provide corresponding navigation aids.

Content Management from the Trenches 
Moving your company to a content management system requires intense commitment and planning by everyone: management, writers, and vendors. Allow at least a year to define and develop the necessary tools, and provide training and support for the writers on an ongoing basis. As a writer, documentation department, or vendor, you should participate in the planning, development, and implementation. To ensure success, conduct rigorous testing, do a pilot project, and encourage teams to share information freely.

The basic nature of commerce has not changed but our ability to communicate quickly, widely, and deeply has. This document explores the changes and challenges that these new abilities bring to the conduct of business for all organizations. eBusiness, I contend, is the process of delivering any part of your business to any audience wherever they are.

Manien har bredt sig. Ethvert professionelt website skal pr. definition være baseret på et Content Management System (CMS). Der er nok at vælge imellem, når næsten ethvert web bureau med respekt for sig selv har deres eget CMS, med alle dets fordele og ulemper. Men hvordan navigerer man som køber i denne jungle af systemer? Der er jo en del, her er en lille liste over hvad TheQuark har fundet på det seneste. Listen er sikkert overhovedet ikke dækkende, men den giver et rimeligt overblik på hvad man kan få.

Content Management Market: What You Really Need to Know
Content management (CM) has been on the short list of initiatives for many organizations the past few years. The proliferation of Web-based content on corporate intranets, extranets and Web pages has provided a daunting array of challenges. Organizations must insure that posted information is relevant, authentic and appropriate. And, if you listen to all the analyst firms the industry numbers would bear this out.

Content Management Problems and Open Source Solutions 
With hundreds of applications to choose from, content management is one of the most active sectors of open source software. While these options present a great opportunity to leverage open source software, I.T. decision makers often find themselves disoriented by the number of choices, the lack of information, and the ineffectualness of their traditional software selection processes. This Optaros white paper 'Content Management Problems and Open Source Solutions' discusses strategies for understanding and selecting an open source content management system and describes fifteen of the more prominent options in the context of the business problems they are effective in solving.

A Content Management Project Presents Unique Challenges
At a basic level, implementing a content management system (CMS) is like deploying any other large software package. Fundamental project management principles must be followed, along with best practice technical guidelines. Beyond this, however, a CMS project presents a number of unique challenges. These must be recognised and addressed for the project to be successful.

Content management systems are key to running an efficient website. Keep the development group out of the loop on updating content, and you will move ever so much faster. 'Content' doesn’t need the same kind of source control that scripts and templates need. Specific design suggestions follow.

In this White Paper, we examine the benefits of automated content management, and demonstrate where efficiencies can be gained within your organization. Web sites with more than a few information pages may benefit from content management systems (CMS). Content management systems are automated tools that allow for web site content to be created and administered on a recurring basis. The result puts the responsibility for content development into the hands of the authors (where it belongs) and out of the hands of the programmers.

Content Management Systems and the Single Web Designer
Content Management is the next step in separating structure from design. What began with Cascading Style Sheets and was furthered by XML, is exploding with the CM environment, where billions were spent last year and more billions are expected to be spent in the years ahead. CM Systems come in many shapes: They can be huge or small, simple or very complex. They range from the very expensive (almost $300,000 for enterprise–wide systems like Vignette or Interwoven and $43,000 per server processor for Microsoft’s CMS to almost free (less than $1,000 for Manila and nothing for Zope). But they are all based on the same idea: CM allows designers to focus on design by building templates. Subject experts build content in a separate environment. The server takes the content, inserts it into the correct template and sends it all, neatly wrapped up, to end users.

Content Management Systems: Don't Automate the Misery
Few organizations have seen much good come of content-management BPR initiatives so far. Of the many reasons for these failures, one stands out: these BPR initiatives—and the systems they spawn—are focused on realizing organizational objectives without sufficient regard for the context, habits, and goals of the people who will actually use the system.

Content Management: Reaching the Next Level
In spite of the ongoing efforts of vendors and user organizations, the management of non-structured data (content) continues to be a problem, with significant impact. Yet evidence indicates that content management (CM) is being deployed more widely within vanguard organizations, with major benefits. And among the lessons to be learned from their experiences, focusing on the quality of metadata and content standards continues to be a leading success factor.

Content Management: Web Publishing Needs Real Discipline
Too many organizations take an unprofessional approach to the content they publish on the Web. Many web managers still seem to believe that if they get the technology right the publishing will look after itself. Quality publishing requires skill and discipline. Unfortunately, discipline is something many web teams are lacking.

Content Management: When Do We Need It?
By ensuring a document process is put in place and all people in your company know where to find information, how to request changes, update, and distribute new content, and who has the permission to manage the content you will be well on your way to having a viable content management system. Adding the software to automatically manage the content will only come when core principles of the organization require it.

Content Re-Use with the Tools at Hand 
Frequent updates for a swarm of modular plug-ins were interrupting work on larger, higher-value projects. Worse, development was happening in a time zone 12 hours away, making communication a major bottleneck. Faced with fixed resources and growing commitments, our writing group extended existing tools to automate information gathering and rough draft creation, thereby halving the writer time each module required. This paper describes the user interface, tool extensions, and reusable information approach we used to solve the problem.
