A content management system (CMS) allows publishing, editing, and modifying content from a central interface. CMS platforms centralize data editing, publishing, and modification on a single backend. CMS can be used to store, control, revise, and publish documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, and scientific data for websites.

CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS)
A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer program that allows
publishing, editing and modifying content 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.
The first content management system (CMS) was announced at the end of the 1990s. This CMS
was designed to simplify the complex task of writing numerous versions of code and to make the
website development process more flexible. CMS platforms allow users to centralize data
editing, publishing and modification on a single back-end interface. CMS platforms are often
used as blog software.

Main features
The core function of content management systems is to present information on web sites. CMS
features vary widely from system to system. Simple systems showcase a handful of features,
while other releases, notably enterprise systems, offer more complex and powerful functions.
Most CMS include Web-based publishing, format management, revision control (version
control), indexing, search, and retrieval. The CMS increments the version number when new
updates are added to an already-existing file. A CMS may serve as a central repository
containing documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data. CMSs can be used for
storing, controlling, revising, semantically enriching and publishing documentation.
Web content management system
A web content management system(web CMS) is a bundled or stand-alone application to create,
manage, store and deploy content on Web pages. Web content includes text and embedded
graphics, photos, video, audio, and code (e.g., for applications) that displays content or interacts
with the user. A web CMS may catalog and index content, select or assemble content at runtime,
or deliver content to specific visitors in a requested way, such as other languages. Web CMSs
usually allow client control over HTML-based content, files, documents, and web hosting plans
based on the system depth and the niche it serves.
Components content management system
A component content management (CCMS) specializes in the creation of documents from
component parts. For example, a CCMS that uses DITA XML enables users to assemble
individual component topics into a map (document) structure. These components can be reused
(rather than copied and pasted) within another document or across multiple documents. This
ensures that content is consistent across the entire documentation set.

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML data model for
authoring and, with the DITA Open Toolkit, publishing. It is a standard that is defined and
maintained by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee.
The name derives from the following components:
 Darwin: it uses the principles of specialization and inheritance, which is in some ways
analogous to the naturalist Charles Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation.
 Information Typing.
 Architecture: DITA is an extensible set of structures
Enterprise content management systems
An enterprise content management system (ECM) organizes documents, contacts and records
related to the processes of a commercial organization. It structures the enterprise's information
content and file formats, manages locations, streamlines access by eliminating bottlenecks and
optimizes security and integrity.
Distinguishing between the basic concepts of user and content, the content management system
(CMS) has two elements :
 Content management application (CMA) is the front-end user interface that
allows a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify and remove
content from a Web site without the intervention of a Webmaster.
 Content delivery application (CDA) compiles that information and updates
the Web site.[7]
