Managing the publishing process

One of key goals of a Web content management system is to coordinate editing activities among large groups of authors. With coordination in this context, we refer to the following activities:

• Controlling access to resources for read, write, or delete
• Managing different versions of libraries, design, and content
• Allowing users to contribute and review content in an organized way
• Locking shared resources while they are edited
• Providing tools to ensure consistency between different content items
