problem statement

     

An increasing number of organizations have web sites. The trend is to disseminate responsibility of managing web content for the web site to the people who generate it rather then webmaster. In this situation the web master can focus on larger system issues and avoid dealing with small updates or additions. At the same time, this scenario creates a situation in which people who are uncomfortable with working on web design are forced to complete tasks for a web site. In addition, many organizations support multiple sites such as WAP, Flash, and HTML sites that have the same content. Thus, there is a need for a system that will manage and organize web site content.

 

In order to address these issues, we propose a solution with the following properties: allow users to interact with text for a web site, group text into different categories to deal with the quantity to text, allow style sheet and graphics files to be combined with the text files, allow for a verification section in which a VP or other managers in the company to check additions and changes before they go live, and finally update content on all sites at once. The presentation of the files associated within our system is handled by modules outside of the system.
