Abstract
Based on experience gathered with several releases of the CoreMedia Content Application Platform (CAP), we argue that a modern, generalized Content Management System should, as database systems do, support explicit content schemata. To control the inevitable evolution of the content schema, the schema should be subject to con- figuration management together with the actual content. We propose a two-layered approach to content schema evolution consisting of - a system level responsible for bookkeeping and integrity issue detection, and - a semi-automatic application level responsible for resolving schemarelated issues.
A prototype using the proposed approach has been successfully implemented at CoreMedia.
