15 Repository Big Bag of documents Slice- n-dice approach using extensive metadata support HTTP/XML (ReST) interface: effective 2-tier architecture accessible from most programming/ scripting languages

16 Document Types Document schemas Semi-structured documents, containing: rich-text or multimedia parts metadata fields Documents are validated against their type definition Editor automatically reconfigures itself on document type changes Content Summary distribution keyword department Parts Fields

17 Parts Mime type-aware media storage Stored on the filesystem Parts can be of arbitrary size (OS limits notwithstanding) Full-text indexed where applicable PDF, MSOffice, OpenOffice

18 Fields Strongly-typed metadata Several base-types available i18n of labels and description Selection lists Required/optional

19 Slice-and-dice Views Searches on: - metadata - document types -... Explicit navigation Repository

26 Access Control ACL rules

27 Access Control Centralized set of ACL rules: Subject: applicable documents (using a Daisy query) User/role Type of denied/allowed operation Act as a set of firewall rules

28 Notifications Technically: all repository change events are published on a JMS bus extension hook for integration with workflow system Functionally: user-configurable mail notification system

29 Mail notifications

30 Publishing Browse and find Navigate and show management content Aggregate collaboration publishing

31 Publishing Repository content Navigation tree Site definition } Website

32 Navigation editor

33 Navigation Document links Groups Queries Include navigation trees External links Filtered against ACL rules

34 Daisy Query Language SQL RDBMS DQL Lucene Full-text indices

35 Querying Easy to learn SQL-like query language Access to metadata and full-text indexes Queries can be embedded in documents Dynamic navigation using queries Query results are filtered against ACL

36 Publishing Apache Cocoon web application framework XML/XSLT-based: no programming required Output formats: HTML, PDF,... Aggregation of external sources (RSS) Skinning system

37 Aggregation Build dynamic/composite documents Document- and query includes Supported by Daisy editor Integration of external information Skin customization
