Document Summary

It is closely related to intellectual property (a creative endeavor that can be protected through a trademark, patent, copyright, industrial design, or integrated circuit topography). Before the advent of the computer, content was only available on paper or in photographs or movies. Computers created digital content that can be stored, and networks like the internet have increased the ability to distribute this content. The challenge in content management is indexing or cataloguing the right information, processing and storing it, and then getting it to the right person in the right format at the right time. The management of many types of data has traditionally been handled through organizational database management systems. These dbms are central to the management of content data. The presentation of content in organizations today is increasingly handled through a series of steps supported by software. Web content management systems have been developed to help companies organize this process.
