Management of contents stored in databases, XML Repositories, and static files
Import / export of content: Portions, or the complete contents of the content repository of Zanuba Enterprise CMS can be exported.
The exported resources are written to a database in depended XML based format and bundled in a common ZIP file.
Additional Meta information like properties or access permissions are also exported.
Synchronization mechanism: Files from the database can be synchronized to the server file system, speeding up the development cycle.
XML Web Services Feature: Page contents are stored in XML files making data transfer to other applications easier than traditional ways.
This data transfer can be ameliorated with the additional use of the XML-based SOAP communication protocol.
Meta information: Various properties can be attached to every resource in the content repository to store individual Meta information.
Values can be modified by authorized users.
