CMS

A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer program that allows publishing, editing and modifying content on a web site as well as maintenance from a central interface. Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual steps or an automated cascade.

Types

Basically CMS(Content Management System) can be divided into two types:

• Proprietary CMS:

Proprietary CMS is a content management system in which the back end code is available only to the particular developer, so only the single Admin can edit or customize the webpage.

• Open source CMS:

Open source CMS is an open system that can be used by anyone to make any change by using any device.

Data Type and Usage

In a CMS, content can be defined as documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data. CMSs are used for storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching and publishing documentation. Serving as a central repository, the CMS raises the version level when new updates are added to an already existing file. Version control is one primary advantage of a CMS.
