¿Que es?

Realizar un web puede ser un trabajo complicado y muy laborioso si no se dispone de las herramientas adecuadas. En los últimos años se ha desarrollado el concepto de sistema de gestión de contenidos (content Management Systems o CMS). Se trata de herramientas que permiten crear y mantener un web con facilidad, encargándose de los trabajos más tediosos que hasta ahora ocupaban el tiempo de los administradores de las webs.

¿Qué es un CMS?

Los sistemas de gestión de contenidos (Content Management Systems o CMS) es un software que se utiliza principalmente para facilitar la gestión de webs, ya sea en Internet o en una intranet, y por eso también son conocidos como gestores de contenido web (Web Content Management o WCM).

Resumen: El hombre primitivo, como nosotros, necesitaba procurarse alimentos. A diferencia nuestra, no tenía bodega o supermercado a donde ir, necesitaba de sus venablos y otros instrumentos rudimentarios y, si se trataba de cazar un mamut, debía hacerlo en grupo y coordinar sus acciones. Así, se iniciaron dos fenómenos básicos y claves para el desarrollo humano: la emisión, recepción y empleo de 'contenidos'; así como el trabajo en colaboración entre dos o más 'homo sapiens' para lograr una meta compartida por un grupo.

Resumen: To discuss why a content management system (CMS) for collection development is necessary in a distance education environment, restructuring technical services in preparation for a CMS implementation, and the actual building of a prototype. Design/methodology/approach  The article outlines the planning and processes necessary in designing and building a CMS from scratch using existing resources and putting them to effective use. Findings  While development and completion of the CMS database was accomplished in a timely fashion, implementation in the library has been slow because of negotiating security issues. Practical implications  A resource for any academic library considering developing their own CMS in house. Originality/value  Content management systems are becoming common at large universities with resources to obtain the software "out of the box" and with full time computer support staffs implement them. However, content management systems are much less common in the small university environment. Creating one for managing library collection development is unique.

Resumen: To inform librarians about the benefits, costs, and technologies involved in implementing a content management system. Design/methodology/approach  A discussion of how XML is used to separate content from presentation, how this technology is used in a home-grown freeware application, and the results of converting a static website into a database driven one through the use of this application. Findings  Demonstrates that converting to a dynamic, application driven web site results in a more flexible, efficient, and consistent web presence. Research limitations/implications  Every library is unique and what worked well at Rensselaer might not work as well elsewhere. Luwak is currently only available to organizations at Rensselaer. Practical implications  A useful primer on how a conversion like this happens and on the sort of features that can make a database driven web application run smoothly. Originality/value  This paper provides a unique account of one libraries' experience in making the sort of transition that will become increasingly important for all library web sites.

Resumen: If you have previously heard about content management (CM) it is most likely because you are connected to a large Web development project. Today that is where most of the interest and activity are. When the Web moved past small informally designed sites and into large, rapidly changing sites, the need for strong management tools became pressing. Product companies moved in to address this need and called their offerings content management systems (CMS). If your only problem is to create and maintain a large website, you have reason enough to desire the strict structure and formal procedures of a CMS. Such a system helps you get and stay organized so that your site can grow and change quickly while maintaining high quality. The Web, however, is simply one of many outlets for information that organizations need to manage. And when the amount of information sharing between these outlets grows, the desire for an organized approach becomes an absolute need.

Resumen: In recent years libraries and other cultural institutions have become increasingly concerned about the tendency for Web sites to lose content over time, especially those that are managed informally and without strong institutional backing. Cornell's Project Prism has been exploring ways to detect risks to Web resources as the first step toward developing a toolset for managing risks without necessarily requiring libraries to capture and archive the Web resources themselves. Thus, over the past year we have been monitoring Web sites and documenting changes in their status that may indicate short- and long-term risks to content.

Resumen: The University of Minnesota Libraries have developed and implemented LibCMS, an open architecture content management system (CMS) that combines with the previously-built LibData system to meet the web page publishing and site management needs of a large research library. The purpose of this paper is to present overall observations about CMSs and their implementation, and details the requirements and design of LibCMS. Design/methodology/approach  The system's development followed an evolutionary path moving from a modest data repository, to a large system with a three-tiered web page authoring environment, and now to a CMS with site-level management capability. This work leaned on abstract tree structures to manage navigational hierarchy both within and between pages. Methods were developed to represent tree architecture in an RDBMS while economizing traversal and maintenance of nodes. Findings  Developing the CMS locally ensured that design followed the requirements of a large academic library environment and its service/business model. This also allowed the implementation to be an organic extension of existing authoring tools in the environment rather than the potentially disruptive incorporation of a new system. Research limitations/implications  Architectural problems encountered here have traditionally been treated outside of library and information science. The challenge both in implementation and in research has been to bridge gaps between computer science and applied technologies in libraries. Practical implications  Implementations of open source, library-oriented CMSs could, over time, open the door to community software development and distribution efforts. Originality/value  This paper uniquely details the rationale and design of a library-oriented, open architecture CMS, built to interoperate with a large, content repository.

Resumen: As libraries build ever-larger collections of electronic resources, finding ways to manage them efficiently becomes a major challenge. The number of electronic journals, citation databases, and full-text aggregations held by most libraries has grown rapidly. Managing these electronic resources involves providing the library's user with convenient ways to find and access them and providing library staff with the tools to keep track of them

Resumen: El lenguaje XML (eXtensible Markup Language) comenzó a desarrollarse en septiembre de 1996 auspiciado por el W3C con un claro propósito: diseñar un lenguaje de marcas optimizado para Internet. XML debía combinar la simplicidad de HTML con la capacidad expresiva de su predecesor, SGML. En su definición participaron empresas como Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Novell y Hewlett-Packard. La versión 1.0 fue ratificada por el W3C en la conferencia sobre SGML/XML celebrada en Washington en diciembre de 1997. En pocos años, XML se ha convertido en el lenguaje con mayor impacto en el desarrollo de aplicaciones de publicación de contenidos para Internet e Intranet.

Resumen: Content management (CM) has been on the short list of initiatives for many organizations the past few years. The proliferation of Web-based content on corporate intranets, extranets and Web pages has provided a daunting array of challenges. Organizations must insure that posted information is relevant, authentic and appropriate. And, if you listen to all the analyst firms the industry numbers would bear this out. According to Gartner, the CM software market should grow to about $6 billion by the year 2003. A little more conservatively but still on the growth curve, IDC estimates that the CM market will be $4.3 billion by the year 2004, a growth of 31% per year. Meta estimates the market to be $10 billion by 2004 and Ovum estimates the sales of software and services to be $13.3 billion by 2004.

Resumen: This article describes a multicase field study of four public-facing Midwestern state agencies and how they organized the work of reviewing and approving textual content for publication on Internet Web sites. Drawing on field data and concepts from institutional theory, contingency theory, and organizational design, the paper generates a framework to document systematically the processes and practices involved in the review and approval of textual Web content. The framework is then used to compare textual content management practices across the four case sites and to begin to investigate the effects of variation in content management practices on characteristics of the available textual content. The article suggests how the framework could be used in future research to investigate how content practices affect content characteristics such as quality, quantity, and cost and to investigate how and why content management practices change over time.

Resumen: To report on the content management system designed to manage the 30 web-based research guides developed by the subject liaison librarians at the Georgia State University Library. Design/methodology/approach  The web development librarian, with assistance from the web programmer, designed a system using MySQL and ASP. A liaison team gave input on the system through rigorous testing and assisted with the design of the templates that control the layout of the content on the guides. A usability study and two surveys were also completed. Findings  The new system met and exceeded the baseline expectations for content collection and management, offering a greater control over appearance and navigation while still offering customization features for liaisons. Improvements are planned for the templates in addition to better promotion of the guides on the library web site. Initial and ongoing training for the liaisons should have been more effectively addressed. Despite their observed and future potential advantages, the CMS model has not been universally adopted by academic libraries. Practical implications  Regardless of the technology involved, libraries preparing for a CMS transition must give at least as much attention to user issues as they do to technical issues, from the organizational buy-in and comprehensive training to internal/external usability. Originality/value  This paper contributes to a small but growing collection of CMS case studies. It covers the technical, functional, and managerial developments of a CMS, while also addressing the practical user factors that sometimes get lost in the process.

Resumen: Five web sites, five libraries, numerous departmental pages and thousands of pages of content explained, in part, why users found library resources difficult to navigate. Web redesign became a strategic initiative in 2001 and state funding enabled the purchase of a content management system (CMS). The purpose of this paper is to describe the systematic implementation of a CMS at Texas A&M Libraries Design/methodology/approach  The web implementation team (WIT) was formed to include a diverse group of people from all areas of the library and charged with responsibility for the overall management of the University Libraries' web site. Practical implications  Using a CMS to create the library's web presence is an important and expensive undertaking that requires coordinated management oversight. It also presents opportunities to reconsider the library's organizational structure and culture. Originality/value  This paper describes a management strategy that involves all areas of the organization, encourages teamwork, promotes innovation, and stays focused on organizational priorities. It discusses expected and unexpected consequences of implementing a CMS, and makes recommendations about CMS management in general

Resumen: Digital content management system is a software system that provides preservation, organization and dissemination services for digital collections. By adapting the systems analysis process, the University of Arizona Library analyzed its needs and developed content management system requirements for finding a suitable information system that addresses the increasing needs of digital content management. Dozens of commercial and open source candidates were examined to match against the requirements. This article provides detailed analysis of three major players (Greenstone, Fedora, and DSpace) in key areas of digital content management: preservation, metadata, access, and system features based on the needs of the University of Arizona Library. This paper describes the process used to analyze and evaluate potential candidates and includes results of analysis to illuminate the process.

Resumen: To present a case study of a library systems department's experience in choosing and implementing a content management system. By sharing this process others may be helped as they look for solutions and face similar situations. Design/methodology/approach  A reflective case study was chosen because it allowed the systems department to tell their story by reflecting on what had happened over the past two years. This is also a self study as the writers of the story are also the ones who experienced the events. Findings  The article provides a detailed account of choosing and  implementing a CMS including insight into decisions, issues, and processes. The broad issues of usability, that usability is individualistic and task oriented, is portrayed. The hard work and difficulties involved in this type of project, especially for a small library, is recognized. Research limitations/implications  As this is one department's experiences, it is not necessarily generalizable to other CMS projects or other libraries. Practical implications  Sharing experiences can give insight and guidelines to those who are contemplating similar decisions/implementations. Originality/value  This paper offers practical advice and reflective insights based on an actual experience.

Resumen: To examine the issues involved with migrating an academic library's web site to a commercial content management system (CMS) within a campus-wide implementation. Design/methodology/approach  The old and new web sites are described in terms of their histories, technologies, and structures. Key issues relating to the migration are identified and some concerns and benefits are listed. Findings  Although proprietary systems are restrictive in some ways, the technological, organizational, and work flow advantages to the CMS which was employed are significant. An entirely different set of issues emerge when a library participates in a campus-wide implementation as opposed to one which is librarywide. Originality/value  This may be the first case study of a CMS migration that is both campus-wide and using a commercially available system. The current trend in academic libraries toward home-grown systems could some day be reversed as the commercial CMS market evolves.

Resumen: Visions of user-centered approaches to digital library futures are uncertain. One can best understand what those futures portent by briefly exploring one's roots and traditions and concepts of service. Much of the future will be driven by technological change, but it will be moderated by the sense of service and purpose brought to the digital library by the people who use it and by the people who work in and through it. The digital library of the future will be impacted by several factors, one of which is the newly digital nature or format for information. Another is the redefinition of the book in at least some cases from a static to a fluid medium. The seeming inability to archive fluid media has changed libraries. Digital libraries are now distributed constructs of the mind rather than physical buildings with paper content. All of this, in turn, has led to new means and mechanisms for the management, classification, distribution, identification, retrieval, and storage of information in ways heretofore unimaginable. In the medium to long term, new means as yet not imagined will be developed to meet our information needs to further redefine digital libraries.

Resumen: Solutions for the problems of building up information services go beyond the hitherto conventional way of thinking about information centers and libraries. The disputed guidelines of "Standardization from the view of the remaining heterogeneity" and the paradigm of "Net publishing" clearly characterize the change. It isn't just technological but contentconceptualized. Both guidelines taken together are an answer to the new technological and user demands in the changing setting of the Web. And a clear sign that the traditional methods of standardization are no longer sufficient to keep the desired  interoperability and data consistency that should be maintained.

Resumen: To describe the evolution of a content management system at the University of Maine Library that would function as a universal, extensible metadata repository, thereby eliminating the need to build separate databases for new digital collections, and facilitating both end-user access and the management of electronic resources in an integrated technology environment. Design/methodology/approach  Beginning with the development of a prototype system that mapped EAD encoded finding aids to a relational database, this paper discusses the evolution of this prototype into the design and implementation of a RDBMS (and continuing development of an object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS) system) to actively manage digital objects and associated metadata. The key to the system design is metadata: extracting and mapping, transforming, and managing the processing of MARC-based metadata into non-MARC schemes to build digital collections. Other relevant CMS architecture issues discussed are the design of a functional bibliographic structure and utilities for metadata harvesting and indexing. Findings  Provides information on the use of the Dublin Core Abstract Model and a flexible and adaptable collection-centric approach in the overall CMS architecture as implemented on a non-MARC RDBMS, and provides an explanation of the advantages of an object oriented database system over the complexity of evolving relational database tables. Practical implications  A useful source for the development of an in-house CMS, and a contribution to the growing body of literature about the transformation of MARC-based metadata for database design. Originality/value  This paper is a case study of actual work conducted at the University of Maine Library.

Resumen: La Gestión de Contenidos Web se está convirtiendo en una de las áreas de estudio de mayor interés para bibliotecarios, archiveros y documentalistas que desempeñan su función en espacios de trabajo en los que abunda la información digital en múltiples formatos y en los que ésta debe ser creada y difundida de forma dinámica en espacio de publicación Web. Si bien la mayoría de estas herramientas informáticas son productos comerciales, existe una corriente bien distinta encaminada al desarrollo de programas informáticos de este tipo de libre distribución. Esta tendencia en la construcción de software gratuito está siendo potenciada por organizaciones de todo tipo. Se analizan, finalmente, algunos de los principales productos que se pueden encontrar dentro de este grupo, señalando sus características y funcionalidades esenciales, concluyendo con una serie de reflexiones sobre la utilidad de estos sistemas para los profesionales de la información y la documentación dedicados al desarrollo y gestión de sitios

Resumen: The vision for Telecom New Zealand's intranet  "one company working together online"  is being realised, thanks to the decision to move the entire intranet to a content management system. The challenge was to move over 220 disparate sites to a single platform and develop a strategy for future development. This article outlines how a governance model was developed and standard intranet architecture aligned to business objectives; 35,000 pages of content were migrated and delivered on the vision, while building a solid foundation for the future of the intranet in the organisation.

Descriptores: Medios de comunicación/World wide web/Gestión de contenidos

Resumen:   Purpose - To help determine the extent to which 'unique' informational content is available on personal home pages (PHP) on the world wide web (WWW). Design/methodology/approach - The informational content of PHPs is manually compared with the informational content of non-PHPs in the field of professional football in England. This produces instances of information which is available on the PHPs but not on the non-PHPs. A search is then carried out to determine whether these pieces of information are available elsewhere on the web. Findings - There are notable quantities of information which are only available on PHPs. There are also instances where certain information will be available on PHPs before it is available on non-PHPs. In addition, the degree to which information on PHPs is correct is also likely to be quite high. These facts in conjunction suggest that PHPs as a whole make a notable contribution to the informational content of the WWW. Research limitations/implications - The sample data are limited in size and scope. Practical implications - PHP visibility and utilization may increase. Originality/value - Provides a methodology for informational comparisons of web pages.

Resumen: Se propone un modelo de clasificación no exhaustiva de las herramientas - software que deben conformar el sistema nervioso digital, sobre cuya base pueden desarrollarse, con mayor facilidad, las acciones y operaciones que integran metodológicamente la gestión del conocimiento, el aprendizaje organizacional o el capital intelectual, en las organizaciones. Se ofrece, para cada tipo de herramienta, una explicación sobre su función dentro del sistema de la gestión del conocimiento, la lógica de sus operaciones internas, así como sus ventajas y desventajas. El sistema de clasificación propuesto y su lógica interna, se basan en la definición teórica previa de los conceptos y procesos que son objeto de automatización, con la peculiaridad de que las definiciones hacen alusión a su posible soporte tecnológico. Se aborda con claridad la relación y delimitación entre gestión del conocimiento, gestión de información (contenidos) y gestión tecnológica (ingeniería de softwareEl presente trabajo es el primero de una tríada que conducirá a la creación de un portal para la consulta en línea de un catálogo de herramientas - software, destinado a facilitar la toma de decisiones en el contexto de la gestión tecnológica.

Resumen: Usability. Next to electronic content management systems and institutional repositories, this one just might be the biggest panacea sweeping the library world. If you had asked me my opinion of usability 18 months ago, I might have said: 'If someone doesn't build it, no one can use it. How's that for usability?' Then,I embarked on a writing project for Library Technology Reports on building better library Web services ('Optimizing Library Web Services: a Usability Approach,' LTR, v. 38 no. 2, Mar./Apr. 2002). The more research I did, the more I kept coming back to usability procedures, testing, and best practices. Before I knew it, I was writing a 28,000-word 'article' on usability approaches to optimizing library Web services.

Resumen: La introducción de sistemas para el tratamiento de información en el sector público supone un amplio rango de oportunidades y desafíos en su relación con los ciudadanos y con los operadores comerciales. El asunto plantea cuestiones de indudable interés jurídico, económico y de organización de la información tales como: ¿Qué tipos de información elaboran? ¿Cómo debe elaborarse para una utilización eficiente? ¿Qué utilización hacen los particulares y los operadores comerciales? ¿Qué sectores despiertan mayor interés (información meteorológica, legal, geográfica, ambiental, social...), por ejemplo? ¿Qué información es necesario difundir y cuál conservar? ¿Qué información se puede comercializar? ¿Qué criterios de precios aplicamos a la información servida por los poderes públicos? ¿Qué información deben elaborar estos organismos y cuál puede ser elaborada por los organismos privados? En esta comunicación se recogen algunos de los aspectos del proyecto de investigación financiado por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid denominado "Reutilización de la documentación del sector público en España.

Resumen: The University of Oklahoma Libraries (UL) has created content management tools located on the staff intranet. These tools allow library personnel to control the content on the web site while the library systems office maintains site navigation and consistent site design. These tools have been in place for approximately three years, but this study is the first formal evaluation of these systems. Design/methodology/approach  To evaluate usage of the content management tools in place at UL, the authors surveyed all levels of library personnel to see how they utilize the library intranet to manage web site content. The authors examined both self-reported usage of the staff intranet and data collected from the systems office about actual usage. Findings  This study provides insight on the intended use of content management systems versus the actual usage of these systems. Research limitations/implications  Future research should focus on how CMS is being used by regular users of the systems rather than usage of the system as a whole. Survey results were skewed by including student workers who seldom have reason to use the intranet or CMS tools within the scope of their positions. Practical implications  Explores the issues surrounding the use of the intranet as a tool for communication and managing content on a public web site. Tools must be properly marketed if they are to be fully utilized. Originality/value  This paper will benefit those in organizations that are considering locally developing content management tools or that are beginning to evaluate usage of their staff intranet.

Resumen: Introducing context to a user query is effective to improve the search effectiveness. In this article we propose a method employing the taxonomy-based search services such as Web directories to facilitate searches in any Web search interfaces that support Boolean queries. The proposed method enables one to convey current search context on taxonomy of a taxonomy-based search service to the searches conducted with the Web search interfaces. The basic idea is to learn the search context in the form of a Boolean condition that is commonly accepted by many Web search interfaces, and to use the condition to modify the user query before forwarding it to the Web search interfaces. To guarantee that the modified query can always be processed by the Web search interfaces and to make the method adaptive to different user requirements on search result effectiveness, we have developed new fast classification learning algorithms.

Resumen: Information and documentation services available on the Internet through web servers are growing in an exponential manner. The logical evolution of the Internet over the last 10 years has been producing a replacement of static web pages and documents by dynamically generated documents. This is due both to user interaction with work processes and flows defined by service creators and to the availability of growing information repositories. This has meant a progressive evolution from a concept of web page publishing which was quite simple in its origins to more complex and differentiated schemes relying on procedures and techniques based on information management. The increasing complexity of services and systems supporting them has made it necessary to formulate a theoretical and practical corpus capable of combining classical information management techniques within organizations with the particular features of the digital environment.

Resumen: Los servicios de información y documentación accesibles a través de internet, más concretamente mediante servidores web, están aumentando de una forma exponencial. La lógica evolución del web desde hace más de 10 años ha ido produciendo la sustitución de páginas y documentos estáticos por documentos generados dinámicamente, merced a la interacción del usuario con la lógica de procesos y flujos de trabajo definida por los creadores del servicio y a la disponibilidad de cada vez mayores repositorios de información. Evidentemente, se ha ido pasado progresivamente de un concepto de publicación de páginas web, bastante simple en su origen, a esquemas más complejos y diferenciados, fundamentados en procedimientos y técnicas basados en la gestión de información. La cada vez mayor complejidad de los servicios y de los sistemas que los soportan, ha hecho necesaria la formulación de un corpus teórico y práctico en el que se combinen las técnicas clásicas de gestión de información en las organizaciones con las características propias del medioambiente digital.

Resumen: The process of content management begins when an organization comes to the realization that it needs a system to manage content. While the interpretation of the term content management (CM) can be as simple as a set of guidelines for organizing and maintaining content, more typically today it means a sophisticated software-based system. A full-featured content management system (CMS) takes content from inception to publication and does so in a way that provides for maximum content accessibility and reuse and easy, timely, accurate maintenance of the content base.

Resumen: To research a resource description framework (RDF) based digital library system that facilitates digital resource management and supports knowledge management for an interoperable information environment. Design/methodology/approach  The paper first introduces some of issues with metadata management and knowledge management and describes the needs for a true interoperable environment for information transferring across domains. A journal delivery application has been implemented as a concept-proof project to demonstrate the usefulness of RDF in digital library systems. Findings  The RDF-based digital library system at the University of Arizona Libraries provides an easy way for digital resource management by integrating other applications regardless of metadata formats and web presence. Practical implications  A journal delivery application has been running in the RDF-based digital library system since April 2005. An electronic theses and dissertation application will be handled by the same system. Originality/value  The paper suggests to use RDF, the semantic web technology, as a new approach to facilitate knowledge management and metadata management. Using RDF technology brings new ways to manage and discover information for libraries.
