A Reference Architecture for Semantic Content Management Systems.
Fabian Christ, Benjamin Nagel · 2011
Abstract: Content Management Systems (CMS) lack the ability of managing seman-tic information that is part of the content stored in a CMS. On the other hand, a lot of research has been done in the field of Information Extraction (IE) and Informa-tion Retrieval (IR), respectively. Additionally, the vision of the Semantic Web yields to new software components that make semantic technology usable for application developers. In this paper, we combine IE/IR concepts with the technologies of the Semantic Web and propose a new family of CMS, called Semantic CMS (SCMS), with advanced semantic capabilities. We provide a reference architecture for SCMS and prove its value along two implementations. One implementation was created as part of the Interactive Knowledge Stack research project and another one in a one-year student project exploring the design of an SCMS for the software engineering domain.
