By: E&P Staff Tera Digital Publishing, Milan, Italy, unveiled its Content Management Service Architecture last week at IfraExpo in Vienna as the basis for all its future products.
Tera's CMSA defines the infrastructure necessary to smoothly handle content in a uniform production flow. According to Tera, products built using CMSA accept new content formats, and use new presentation and distribution technologies by defining how new processing, workflow, conversion and storage methods are added to the system.
The aim is to aid newspapers in managing disparate, often nearly incompatible content sources and presentation technologies as the number of those sources, content types, distribution channels and presentation technologies increase.
Tera designed CMSA allows new functionality to be added through plug-ins, access to local and other services, and through new content definitions. A system built on the CMSA comprises cooperating software components operating within a well-defined, extensible architecture that is able to accept new technologies and presentation methods.
Compatible with all past Tera systems and data, products implemented using Tera's CMSA are Web-based, extensible systems. CMSA allows technology developers and other third parties to access, manipulate, and archive content using standard Web facilities, which in turn allow decentralized organizations to work together.
