Hi Sunny, Most content management systems in the market provide a "core CMS", containing all the key functionality, including authoring, workflow, versioning, publishing, security, etc, etc. Vendors typically offer additional "modules" that provide extra capabilities not generally considered "core" to CMS, such as the list I previously posted. Some (but not many) CMS products are entirely built from modules, as everything has to be tightly integrated to work. There are few situations in which you can "plug and play" modules from different vendors to provide a complete solution... You might find this a reasonable introduction to the common definition of content management systems: http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/kmc_what/index.html Cheers, James ------------------------- James Robertson Step Two Designs Pty Ltd Knowledge Management / Content Management / Intranets http://www.steptwo.com.au/ [email protected]
