This chapter examines the main issues that have to be considered when selecting an open source content management system. It involves a discussion of literature and the experiences of the authors after installing and testing four widely used open source CMSs (Moodle, Drupal, Xoops, and Mambo) on a stand-alone desktop computer. It takes into consideration Arnold’s (2003) and Han’s (2004) suggestions for the development of CMSs, and identifies six criteria that need to be considered when selecting an open source CMS for use.

The last stage of the selection proposed by the Web content management system effectiveness analysis. The analysis of Drupal, Joomla!, Xoops content management systems, efficient use of server resources in three cases: the generation of dynamic pages, cache page and cache page with data compression. Content management systems are compared using the following criteria: the maximum number of queries per second, queries pending, RAM usage, CPU load, database management system load. It was found most effective resources of a server using a Web content management system.

Content Management Systems

Web content management systems (CMSs) are tools to help efficiently manage modern websites. Broadly defined, CMSs are database-driven software packages that allow people who are not HTML experts to create and edit website content, manage revisions and approvals for content, and help reduce the workload of maintaining a website. Within the past five years open source content management systems, created and maintained by a community of software developers and available without charge, have matured to become viable options for libraries that are not information technology juggernauts. Plone1, now in its fourth major release, is one such content management system that is now in wide use by libraries. [...]

Including users in design and development of an interactive product is crucial to achieve high level of usability. Content management systems have two categories of users, content creators and content consumers, and designers of these systems have to considers the needs of both user groups. In design of interactive learning systems, special attention has to be given to the process of learning, which means that functional, accessible and usable interface has to serve the purpose of knowledge acquisition. Designing for mobile learning brings additional challenges due to the small screens of mobile devices. The paper describes the process of utilization of user-centred design in development of a simple content management system for learning called EMasters. The aim of the EMasters is to enable teachers to easily create and organize courses which will be delivered to students to facilitate web-based and mobile learning. According to the user-centred design approach, teachers and students are involved in iterative process of design, implementation and evaluation of EMasters. Evaluation study used complementary methods and provided quantitative and qualitative feedback. The usability score reached good level and the guidelines for redesign of the system interface are drown. According to the obtained results, proposed framework is confirmed to be applicable in user-centred design of content management systems in general. In addition, the directions for adjustment of the framework for specific cases are provided.

Caching involves the temporal storing of data in a separate folder. Cascading is the arrangement of something in sequence from top to bottom. Cascading cache layer in content management system places data in layers and sequence in order of importance. The cached data are also removed based on their order of importance. Caching is majorly about input and output of content and data, this brings the need for cascading management system to make accessing data easier than usual. This work takes a look into caching and how it works. It considers various levels of caching in the content management systems. It tries to explain what cascading is in a content management system as well as its importance. This work explains how cascading cache in layers would make it faster and more efficient to access data.

The subject of study in the article is the platforms used to organize the educational process in the context of distance learning. The following platforms are selected: learning content management systems (open source systems and individual development), Google Classroom service, e-mail, and cloud data storage. The objects of the educational process for which the security state must be provided are shown. Such assets are files (lectures, tasks for laboratory work), a bank of questions (a total set of questions from which tests are created to control knowledge), and grades (for laboratory work and modular control of knowledge). The goal of the work is a comparative analysis of distance learning platforms in the aspect of cybersecurity. The main threats are a violation of the availability and confidentiality of data in the educational process. It is also possible to modify marks due to the exploitation vulnerabilities of the system or gaining access to the functions of the learning content management system administrator. The probability of data being compromised is higher than the probability of modification, as evidenced by information from vulnerability databases about numerous vulnerabilities in learning content management systems. An accessibility violation is a result of a denial of service, that is, the resource on which the necessary files are located becomes inaccessible to users. The method of expert evaluation with variables of fuzzy logic is used. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the most flexible and convenient platform is the learning content management system of individual development, at the same time it is the most unsecure among the platforms considered. An open-source learning content management system is a more secure platform due to the presence of a global community that can identify security problems faster than attackers. Using Google Classroom and using email with cloud storage is safer, but these approaches are inferior in usability and functionality. Conclusions. Choosing a distance-learning platform is about finding a compromise between security and convenience in the form of a wide functionality of the system. When deploying a centralized learning content management system, it is important to remember that this system is an object of critical information infrastructure, and the requirements for critical systems must be met for it.

Content management can be viewed as the concepts, processes, technologies and practices that deal with the development, management and publishing of information. Traditionally, a Content Management System (CMS) does not offer the means for content classification, management and retrieval of data based on dynamically defined information models. Furthermore, Content Management Systems usually rely on indexed text, syntactic and/or structural metadata for content classification and retrieval. The paper discusses the design of an experimental Semantic CMS (SCMS), which exercises the application of semantic enablers - ontologies, classification & metadata - in order to achieve capture and utilization of content meaning. Lastly, it suggests that the application of semantic enablers in the context of Content Management Systems can provide the means for better information organization and retrieval as well as enhanced machine interoperability.

The digital divide that was formed by a curriculum that affords no direct exposure to any business-oriented enterprise content management system and the surprising ubiquity and dependency on enterprise content management systems in business provided the motivation to class-test SharePoint as a surrogate for a university-supported course management system. The classroom test became the basis of a proof-of-concept model for a college-wide document repository that was conceived to manage most of the colleges departmental and committee documents, including those related to AACSB maintenance of accreditation. The use of a business-tested, enterprise content management system for academic purposes could narrow an academic/industry digital divide and may remove an impediment to the adage practice what you teach.
