CMSs

Un Sistema de Gestión de Contenidos (CMS) es un sistema usado para organizar y facilitar la creación colaborativa de documentos y otros tipos de contenido.

Un CMS es frecuentemente una aplicación web usada para gestionar websites y contenido web, aunque en algunos casos, requieren de un software cliente especial para editar y construir articulos.

Consiste en una interfaz que controla una o varias bases de datos donde se aloja el contenido del sitio. El sistema permite manejar de manera independiente el contenido por una parte y el diseño por otra. Así, es posible manejar el contenido y darle en cualquier momento un diseño distinto al sitio sin tener que darle formato al contenido de nuevo, además de permitir la fácil y controlada publicación en el sitio a varios editores.

Características:

Online authoring / change approval

Edición WYSIWYG

El Flujo de Trabajo incluye un proceso de revisión y publicación

Gestión de usuarios y de sesión

Indices y Búsquedas

Almacenamiento de Objetos

Plantillas

Gestión de imágenes y URL.

Tipos de CMS

Hay varios tipos de Sistemas Administradores de Contenidos:

Web CMS (WCMS) Ayuda a una organización en la automatización de varios aspectos de la creación de contenidos web, gestión de contenidos y entrega. La entrega a la web es su formato principal, pero varios sistemas WCM también entregan a dispositivos inalámbricos.

Transactional management system o Transactional CMS (TCMS) ayuda a una organización en la gestión de transacciones de e- commerce.

Integrated CMS (ICMS) Ayuda a una organización en la gestión de documentos y contenido empresarial.

Publication CMS (PCMS) Ayuda a una organización en la gestión del ciclo de vida del contenido de las publicaciones (manuales, libros, ayudas).

Learning CMS (LCMS) o managed learning environment (MLE) Ayuda a una organización en la gestión del ciclo de vida de los contenidos para el aprendizaje basado en la web.

Enterprise CMS (ECMS) Varía en su funcionalidad. Algunos dan soporte tanto a la web como al ciclo de vida del contenido de las publicaciones, mientras otros dan soporte al ciclo de vida del contenido web y a cualquiera entre el contenido transaccional o gestión del contenido relacionado con el cliente.

Los Sistemas Administradores de Contenido también pueden ser clasificados de acuerdo a dónde y cómo es instalado el software:

Un CMS tradicional se consigue usualmente en un CD o se descarga de la red y puede ser instalado y configurado en un servidor. La mayoría de los CMSs hoy en día están disponibles en este formato. Esto es bueno porque se puede colocar en un sistema existente, pero puede ser un estorbo porque requiere gran cantidad de administración del sistema.

Un ASP CMS se consigue a través de un proveedor de servicios de aplicaciones. Esto significa que no es necesario instalarlo en un servidor. La mayoría de los webmails se proporcionan a través de un ASP y el primer CMS disponible a través de ASP fue Yahoo! GeoCities. Este ejemplo es adecuado porque históricamente la mayoría de las herramientas que usan ASP son basadas en anuncios o dirigidas a los niños.

Un deployed CMS es simplemente una solución ASP que es instalada en una intranet o un entorno propio del usuario.

(Nota: PHP puede usarse para reemplazar ASP) (ASP: Active Server Pages no es lo mismo que Application Service Provider. Sin embargo, ASP (y php) pueden utilizarse para crear un ASP CMS)

Proyectos de Software Libre y OpenSource:

En la Tabla 1 se listan los CMSs clasificados como Software Libre y Open Source. La lista se ha tomado de: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems. Los proyectos resaltados con color azul, son aquellos que no se han encontrado en los repositorios de software libre, y los que tienen una X en la columna C son los que se han comparado con la herramienta de comparasión de CMSs Matrix. En la última columna se encuentra un breve comentario de la exploración inicial que se realizó de cada CMS en cuanto a la información que se encontró en las páginas de los repositorios, como en la página del proyecto. Los 18 proyectos pre-seleccionados se encuentran resaltados en verde.

Los repositorios consultados fueron: Savannah (http://savannah.gnu.org/) , SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/ ) y Freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/ ).
