An Integration Framework Based on Metadata and Identifier Management for Heterogeneous CMSs

Nowadays, content management systems (CMSs) have been adopted by many different types of organizations to manage digital contents, but the increasing complexes and independency result in CMSs falling short of their ideal responsibilities. Interoperability and data redundancy are two issues we should solve, which are caused by adopting diverse metadata systems in CMSs. In this paper we propose a framework to provide abilities for uniformly accessing and managing multiple CMSs in a metadata integrated manner. Afterwards, accounting for reducing data redundancy and the convenience of customers, an unified content identifier (UCID) generation algorithm is proposed and successfully integrated with the metadata management.
