Content management system

A content management system (CMS)[1][2][3] is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital
content. It typically supports multiple users in acollaborative environment.[4]

CMS features vary widely. Most CMSs include Web-based publishing, format management, history editing and version control,
indexing, search, and retrieval. By their nature, content management systems support the separation of content and preparation.

A web content management system (WCM or WCMS) is a CMS designed to support the management of the content of Web pages.
Most popular CMSs are also WCMSs. Web content includes text and embedded graphics, photos, video, audio, maps, and program
code (e.g., for applications) that displays content or interacts with the user
.

Such a content management system (CMS) typically has two major components:

A content management application (CMA) is the front-end user interface that allows a user , even with limited
expertise, to add, modify, and remove content from a website without the intervention of awebmaster.
A content delivery application (CDA) compiles that information and updates the website.
Digital asset management systems are another type of CMS. They manage content with clearly defined author or ownership, such as
documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, and scientific data. Companies also use CMSs to store, control, revise, and publish
documentation.

Based on market share statistics, the most popular content management system is
WordPress, used by over 28% of all websites on the
internet, and by 59% of all websites using a known content management system.[5] Other popular content management systems
include Joomla and Drupal.
