6. WHAT'S CMS?
• A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the
content of a Web site.Typically, a CMS consists of two elements: the
content management application (CMA) and the content delivery
application (CDA).The CMA element allows the content manager or
author, who may not know Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to
manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web
site without needing the expertise of a Webmaster.The CDA element
uses and compiles that information to update the Web site.The
features of a CMS system vary, but most include Web-based publishing,
format management, revision control, and indexing, search, and retrieval.
